If I were to use autovacuum on 8.1 , and If I specify the "ignore'
tables in pg_autovacuum,
1. will the XID wraparound counter be reset after autovacuum finishes
2. If some of the ignore tables are never dropped or deleted in the
future...how do the transaction semantics work with the rows in these
tables (this is not likely to happen..but I am curious to know how
transaction semantics work with the data in these tables)
