hello to all i am stuck in the following situation. i have a table which is 500GB. due to some deleted rows the actual size is about 350-400GB and i would like to reclaim that disk space since from now on this table will remain at this level (350-400GB). the system is in production but the specific table doesn't affect a lot of procedures on the server so it would be ok to do this maintenance 'online'. this table also has 2 indexes. one for its primary key and one for another column, about 100GB each. as i understand my options are: 1) dump the data of the table, truncate the table, restore it (what happens to the indexes in this case?) 2)vacuum full and then reindex 3)cluster (based on the 2nd index) what would you suggest if the most important factor is to minimize the total time for this procedure?and, is there is any other option except the mentioned above? thx in advance -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/dump-restore-vs-vacuum-full-vs-cluster-tp4776084p4776084.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
