Hi I installed the open source ERP Opentaps which have 802 tables and using PostgreSQL as backend, and also filled the tables with demo data.
When I browse the tables using PgAdmin3 I get messages saying that:
The estimated row count on the table "some_table" deviates significantly from the actual row count. You should run vacuum analyze.
So I do it again and again with each table that throws me the message until I get tired, then I went to the database's root and click on maintenance, vacuum analyze.
Then a long process begin, after that I continue browsing the tables but I'm still getting the messages, so I suppose that I'm not doing the vacuum correctly.
What I want It's to make auto vacuums in a general way, NOT table by table because there are 802, you know what I mean...
I edited my postgresql.conf like this, but I'm not sure if that's enough, take a look please and give some feed back please:
