hi, i'm happy wih autovacuum and cluster. but now I ask myself, why i can't move the last table rows to the beginning step by step? vacuum-full needs an exclusive lock. that is okay for me, but if a query arrives, that is waiting for my vacuum-full, i would like to save my vacuum-work and pause. when there comes an bulk-import, i know that my vacuum will not modify the contents of the table. so it would be great, if the import can append to the table normally. when my vacuum finishes, it would be great, if the new free space in the middle could be eliminated by just modifiing one inode-pointer. are there reasons, why this could not be done? regards, maletin. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
