+
+The table `location_area_country` has been optimized. You need to switch to the
+new format when you run updates. While updates are disabled, run the following
+SQL commands:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE location_area_country_new AS
+  SELECT place_id, country_code, geometry FROM location_area_country;
+DROP TABLE location_area_country;
+ALTER TABLE location_area_country_new RENAME TO location_area_country;
+CREATE INDEX idx_location_area_country_geometry ON location_area_country USING GIST (geometry);
+CREATE INDEX idx_location_area_country_place_id ON location_area_country USING BTREE (place_id);
+```

+
+The new format is
+
