That's my first inclination. If he says autovacuum is running, there's
no way it should be bloating the table that much.
Felix, If you're running a version before 8.4, what is your
max_fsm_pages setting? If it's too low, autovacuum won't save you, and
your tables will continue to grow daily unless you vacuum full
regularly, and I wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy. ;)
