I’ve recently moved to 8.1 and find that autovacuum doesn’t seem to be working, at least not the way I expected it to. I need the tuple count for a table to be updated so indexes will be used when appropriate. I was expecting the tuples count for a table to be updated after autovacuum ran. This doesn’t seem to be the case. I added 511 records to a previously empty table and waited over an hour. Tuples for the table (as per pgaccess) was 0. After I did a manual vacuum analyze it went to 511.
Am I missing something? Should there be something in the log file to indicate that autovacuum has run?
I’m attaching my conf file.
