- Sets the minimum amount of time that a query snapshot can be used
- without risk of a snapshot too old
error occurring
- when using the snapshot. Data that has been dead for longer than
- this threshold is allowed to be vacuumed away. This can help
- prevent bloat in the face of snapshots which remain in use for a
- long time. To prevent incorrect results due to cleanup of data which
- would otherwise be visible to the snapshot, an error is generated
- when the snapshot is older than this threshold and the snapshot is
- used to read a page which has been modified since the snapshot was
- built.
-
-
-
- If this value is specified without units, it is taken as minutes.
- A value of -1 (the default) disables this feature,
- effectively setting the snapshot age limit to infinity.
- This parameter can only be set at server start.
-
-
-
- Useful values for production work probably range from a small number
- of hours to a few days. Small values (such as 0 or
- 1min) are only allowed because they may sometimes be
- useful for testing. While a setting as high as 60d is
- allowed, please note that in many workloads extreme bloat or
- transaction ID wraparound may occur in much shorter time frames.
-
-
-
- When this feature is enabled, freed space at the end of a relation
- cannot be released to the operating system, since that could remove
- information needed to detect the snapshot too old
- condition. All space allocated to a relation remains associated with
- that relation for reuse only within that relation unless explicitly
- freed (for example, with VACUUM FULL).
-
-
-
- This setting does not attempt to guarantee that an error will be
- generated under any particular circumstances. In fact, if the
- correct results can be generated from (for example) a cursor which
- has materialized a result set, no error will be generated even if the
- underlying rows in the referenced table have been vacuumed away.
- Some tables cannot safely be vacuumed early, and so will not be
- affected by this setting, such as system catalogs. For such tables
- this setting will neither reduce bloat nor create a possibility
- of a snapshot too old
error on scanning.
