hi

i've got the database (about 300G) and it's still growing.

i am inserting new data (about 2G/day) into the database (there is
only one table there) and i'm also deleting about 2G/day (data older
than month).

the documentation says, one should run VACUUM if there are many
changes in the database, but the vacuumdb never finishes sooner than
the new data should be imported.

is there any technique that can solve this problem?

thanks
fous
