Hi List; I'm engaging with a client who is trying to solve what sounds like a bloat issue. However in further conversations they told me this: 1) we have a table that is an integer key and a blob column 2) the table was at 30Gig, we went in and deleted the last 2 months of data and it's still at 30Gog At this point I thought bloat and that vacuum full or a table rebuild would fix the issue. However later they told me: 3) we did a pg_dump and a reload into a database on the test box and the table is still 30Gig. I haven't gotten access to their servers yet so I only have the above info however I wonder is there special space considerations or storage requirements, etc with blobs ? Thanks in advance... /Kevin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
