effects of cancelling a vacuum full

["Anjan Dave" <adave@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just had to cancel one VACUUM FULL (of a 4.3m row table) that someone ran in business hours. It was after an hour or so that I realized, and it was blocking queries, running out of connections, so I cancelled it. Are there any bad side effects of cancelling an ongoing full vacuum of a table or a database? Does a partial full vacuum give back any space?

Thanks,

Anjan
