Re: Inserts or Updates

Hi Claudio,

You mean running a VACUUM statement manually? I would basically try to avoid such a situation as the way I see it, the database should be configured in such a manner that it will be able to handle the load at any given moment and so I wouldn't want to manually intervene here. If you think differently, I'll be happy to stand corrected.

Thanks,
Ofer

Also, rather than going overboard with autovacuum settings, do make it
more aggressive, but also set up a regular, manual vacuum of either
the whole database or whatever tables you need to vacuum at
known-low-load hours.
