Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply.
We are now running 9.0.13. Before it was 9.0.7.
How can I find out if we are running into this issue: "ie if statistics are no longer being updated because analyze
can'tget the
exclusive lock for truncation"?
I will dig into our logs to see for the query times.
Thanks,
Anne

Exactly which version of PostgreSQL are you running? (we released security update releases for multiple PG versions).
Alsowhich version were you running before?
There were some changes to analyze/vacuum in the previous set of minor releases that could cause performance issues in
somecases (ie if statistics are no longer being updated because analyze can't get the
exclusive lock for truncation). There might be other unintended
performance related changes.
Are all queries taking longer or only some? Can you find any sort of pattern that might help narrow the issue?
