Re: Vaccuum/Analyze

hi tom,

thanks for your reply.

i've seen these notices quite a bit so i'm convinced they're not particulary
dangerous.

we're using 7.1.3-2 so i'll take your advice and upgrade to 7.2 in the near
future.

C programs are the main clients and a few TCL pages on AOLserver; i'll have
to check there regarding their idle state..

thanks again,

mel jamero

(a) these are not particularly dangerous

(b) you are running an obsolete Postgres version; those messages were
downgraded to DEBUG level in 7.2

(c) you have clients that are laying about holding open transactions,
which is not good for concurrency.

First recommendation is to update, second is to see if you can't fix
the clients so that their idle state isn't holding an open transaction.
