hello all,

a few weeks ago I turned to REINDEXing my tables instead of DROPping and
reCREATEing them.

now, however, I again have problems when VACUUMing or REINDEXing these
tables. Postgres states that the connection has been lost etc.

the only thing helping is to DROP and CREATE the index again....

I will now again have a cronjob that at least once a week will
DROP and CREATE all indexes.

isn't this a bit poor of postgresql??
