Hello
We are using postgresql 8.3 database for last 5 yrs for this
production database and its running fine. This is our critical database
which runs 24*7. This weekend we started getting these messages

HINT: To avoid a database shutdown, execute a full-database VACUUM.
WARNING: database must be vacuumed within 8439472 transactions

i am currently running this command

vacuumdb --analyze db

while this command is running i m still getting these messages

WARNING: database must be vacuumed within 2645303 transactions.

The value of number of transactions is going down every minute

Can anyone tell me what is the best way to sort up this issue.

Thanks
Avi
