Purged hands not deleted

[Cenotaph]

I did a hand purge for Nov 09' to help clean up my database a little. When it was finished it said it deleted 500k hands or so, but when I check the 'players' tab for that month it still has all the hands and same number of players. I did the vacuum as well. I don't understand, how come it says they're deleted but they're not?

The purge only deletes the handhistories, not the players or the stats.

If I go to Options -> Observed Hand History Configuration... -> Purge Hand History Options and remove HH's from my database, it won't affect the statistics under Reports, Graphs etc., right?

That's right

Did you reindex after purge & vacuum ?

[LucHarding]

I've just purged some hands and the vacuum thing is running as we speak. As soon as I'll get to the reindexing, should I check one of those two boxes under Reindex?

those 2 boxes are greyed-out when you click the reindex radio button
after that...

defrag (stop pgSQL server first) & reboot
