List pgsql-general
I have Postgres 7.0.2 installed on an Alpha running Red Hat Linux 6.2.  The
table is truncated and loaded with approximately 40,000 records per day.
The load is done by performing a COPY FROM.  The first time it was ever
loaded, the load was done using insert statements, with autocommit on and
the box froze half way through.  Ever since then, every time the truncation
is performed, the reldesc warning has been displayed.  Currently this is
just a demo version of the application,  but the production version is
planned to be rolled out within a month and the volume of records held in
this table will eventually get up to 1 million.

I added the definition of the table below.

Any direction that you can give me to help me hunt this down is greatly
appreciated.  I am still pretty new at all of this.

Thank you very much!
Darrin
