Hi, everyone. I saw some people talking about the reindex command and I read in the docs the one reason to use reindex is when a table is bloated. But how do I know when a table is bloated? You could use PGSTATTUPLE extension, which you could read about here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/pgstattuple.html Regards, Igor Neyman --Does auto-vaccum do the reindex process for us? No, autovacuum and reindexing are 2 completely different processes.
