Re: full table...

Acutely, there are 7 inserts that that take place on
that table before it can talk to the unit that is
broadcasting to me again...
There is a unique constraint on (tstamp, cd_id) but
removing it didn't fix the speed issue...
I am at about 3,000,000 rows give or take a few
thousand. My first take is that I agree with you in
that 3 mill rows should not be an issue at insert
time, but at this point I have no clue on what else it
can be... The rest of the database responds just fine,
all except this table. I also had done a VACUUM
ANALYZE on the table in hopes that it would help...

On my original fix, is there any disadvantage to that
many tables? Other than \d becomes almost useless?
