Hum... now i think i´m beginning to understand.
The vacuum analyse is recommended to perform at least every day, after
adding or deleting a large number of records, and not vacuum full analyse.
I´ve performed the vacuum full analyse every day and after some time i´ve
noticed the database was corrupted. I couldn´t select anything any more.
Do you think if i perform vacuum analyse once a day and perform vacuum
full analyse once a week, i will get to fix this problem?
Thanks for help me, folks.
PS: Sorry for my grammar mistakes. My writting is not so good. :)
