Re: Index Issues & ReIndex

Greetings,

We're running a system with tables that range from 300,000 to 60 Million records. Our indexes seem to be having issues. Let me please describe the symptoms.

1. Big Int Indexes point to the wrong result
2. Duplicate quries run minutes apart return different result sets but then stablize to one result.
3. Vacuum verbose shows nothing and fixes nothing (haven't done vacuum full cause the tables can be huge around 60 Million records)
4. Analyze fixes nothing
5. REINDEX fixes the issue sometimes and removes the specific result we were looking for others. IE: Makes the issue go away OR deletes the row.
6. REINDEX fix lasts until we insert more rows at which time the error will show up again.
7. ONLY Indexes are affected.
8. Running version Postgres 7.4.3, 300 gigs of storage space outstanding

Thanks for any input on what you think the issue may be,

Andrew
