Thread: PG gets slower over time

Hi all.

I've got a database server that's been running for years now, but lately I've
had to restart it occasionally.

It seems to get slower and slower until I break down and restart it.  Then it
runs well.  (I vacuum regularly.)

It sounds to me like I've got some "stuck" connections, but I don't know how
to confirm this.  Any other suggestions would be welcome, also.

Take care and have fun,
