Hello all,

I have a problem. The following message keeps appearing in logs :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING:  database "data_base" must be vacuumed within 2606182 transactions
HINT:  To avoid a database shutdown, execute a full-database VACUUM in
"data_base".

Last week I have run : 'vacuumdb -vz -U postgres -ddata_base'
Today it's still listed in 'ps aux'

In pg_stat_activity I can see two lines mentionning 'vacuum verbose analyze'

What can I do ??
I really need help

it seems to me that you need to vacuum more frequently, and the hint seems to point you to a vacuum full for now, try "vacuumdb -avz", but beaware it can be time & resource consuming.
