Re: [GENERAL] Vacuum

I had same problem...tables that have heavy deletes/inserts start to eat up
tons of disk space and the vacuum seemed to hang.  I posted too, but got no
replies...so my solution was to dump the table and delete the database and
recreate it all.  Also I run the vaccum more often to avoid the prob in the
future...
