Not if it is a vacuum full and you are trying to do an insert. Which is
exactly what
I am talking about. Doing a vacuum full on a table that has had 5.7 million
inserts/updates/deletes during the last 23 hours is going to cause a rather
long vacuum full which in turn will cause a rather long period of
unavailability
of the database.
I am not trying to push either way here at this point but I do think it
is important
that we are honest about the realities otherwise we end up looking like that
other open source database.
Sincerely,
Joshua Drake
