I was using 6.5.0 on my first post, then I upgraded and all the vacuum
and explain commands where from 6.5.2. Here is my complete database
definition:

CREATE TABLE usuarios
(id_usr serial,
razon_social text NOT NULL,
nombre_cuenta text NOT NULL,
grupo int2 NOT NULL,
perfil int2 NOT NULL,
estado char(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'H' CHECK ((estado='H') or (estado='D')),
id_madre int4 NOT NULL,
fecha_creacion datetime DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE,
fecha_baja datetime,
gratuita bool DEFAULT 'f',
activa bool DEFAULT 't',
observaciones text
) \g

CREATE TABLE passwd
(id_usr serial,
clave_plana text NOT NULL,
clave_cifrada text NOT NULL
) \g

CREATE TABLE perfiles
(id_perfil serial,
nombre text NOT NULL,
descripcion text
) \g

CREATE TABLE grupos
(id_grupo serial,
nombre text NOT NULL,
descripcion text
) \g

CREATE TABLE cronometradas
(id_usr serial,
fecha_comienzo_cronometrado datetime DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE,
tipo_cronometrado int2,
max_segs_vida int4,
max_segs_consumo int4
) \g

CREATE TABLE tipos_cronometrado
(id_tipo_cronometrado serial,
nombre text NOT NULL,
descripcion text
) \g

It should, as it is serial. What does it mean when PgAccess says a table
doesn't has a primary key? Would it impact?

Again, thanks!
