I submitted a post about my pg_dumpall file being twice as
big on one server compared to the other. It turns out that one specific database called postgres is growing
each time I perform a restore from the pg_dumpall files. The database postgres has gone from 5.1MB to 10MB to 15MB to
20MB. No other database is growing like this. The pg_dumpall is using the –c
flag to drop databases before restoring them. When I do a restore I do this command: psql -U postgres -f
alldb postgres. Has it something to do with using postgres as the starting
db? I read in the documentation to start the restore with a
starting point, and that postgres is a good place to start. Marc |
