Hi all!

We have a database on postgreSQL 6.2 and it is extremely slow, so we
started vacuum on it. I know it locks the tables, so clients can not use
it until the process is finished, but it is extremely slow on a 1.800.000
record table and we don't know how to make it faster. Can anybody help me?

It seems it is writing an index file, but it grows very slowly.

I know we should use 7.3 at least, we are working on it, but we need to
survive this day with 6.2 :(

Thanks in advance

Laszlo Hornyak
