Re: transaction ID wrap limit is 1073878048

This is normal with postgresql 8.1 and above. With autovacuum turned on
in 8.1 (default), this reminder that you get every time you start up
your postgres server becomes merely informative, and no need to be of
concern. If your autovacuum is turned off, you need either to turn it on
(mostly recommended) or schedule a job to vacuum regularly to avoid
hitting the transaction wrap limit issue later on.

Hello,

We just migrated our database to 8.1.3 from 7.4.12. I am noticing
messages
like

2006-07-16 03:30:22 PDTpostgrescansasLOG: transaction ID wrap limit is
1073878048, limited by database "webcalendar".

When we migrated, we had done a full vacuum of each database.

What is the cause of the problem. How can I fix this?

Thank you
Abu
