Thread: Fwd: Administrative Processing for csitech: getrows

Every night I VACUUM ANALYZE our databases.  I've asked in the past, and
was told not to worry about this.  One database never returns a
message.  This database consistently returns this message.  What odd thing
am I tripping over?

These messages are completely, utterly ignorable.  We've downgraded
them to DEBUG level in 7.2, and may well eliminate them entirely
someday.

The reason they're there is that in ancient history (6.4 or so ;-))
the SI overflow code had a lot of bugs.  But AFAIK there is not any
longer a reason to worry.

(Now, if you are still running 6.anything, you are past due to upgrade.
If you're on 7.1 or later, don't worry about it...)
