Thread: Hangs with 7.1.2 and vacuum

Has anyone else noticed hangs with 7.1.2 and the vacuum statement?

I often get this happening when the vacuum starts and there are other
queries going on. Closing the other connections seems to fix it,
although they all claim to be idle.

This looks like a real problem - is it new to 7.1.2 or has it been
around for a while?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Are those idle connections out of transactions ?

Well spotted - I just worked that out :) We are using python, and we've
locally modified the pgdb.py module to not open a transaction; sadly the
person installing one of the client machines missed that step...
