Hi
I'm struggling with a huge table pg_shdepend. My database has a size of
640MB exclude the size of the system tables. But the real size of the db
is more than 2GB. The reason is a huge table pg_shdepend with more than
32000000 records. PgAdmin3 shows a table size of
1885MB and an index size of 1690MB. This looks strange for me, because
this size is a multiple amount of the db size itself. I believe, that
there are a lot of rubbish in that table, but I'm not sure.
I had run a vacuum full process, but this didn't help. Could anyone give
me an advice how to clean the table pg_shdepend or reduce the table size?
Silly question: did you vacuum the postgres database, or your user database(s)?
Also, you should do the "vacuumdb --freeze --dbname=postgres" when nothing
else is attached to any databases, so that nothing else can be holding old
records in that table.
