Hi,

What would cause or what should I do with a table that hangs during its
reindexing?  I can see in the messages the last table to reindex, so
sequentially the next table must be the problem.
I have statement_timeout set for 6 hours, then I get "canceling statement
due to statement timeout"  Ok, that's fine, and I don't think setting the
statement_timeout to 0 will really help.  The question is why did it hang or
what are some reasons that would make a table hang a reindexing?   And is
there a solution?

At 1:45 AM the reindexing was going fine.  Then, it just hung up --  &
finally cancelled.

Thanks for any ideas.  My experience has been that this happens sometimes
then the next reindexdb -a , everything reindexes fine.
