Hi we are evaluating postgresql 11.1 for our productions. Having a system with 4251 updates per second, ~1000 delete per second and ~3221 inserts per second and 1billion transaction per day. we face a challenge where PostgreSQL does not reuse its (delete/update) space , and tables constantly increase size.
we configured aggressive Autovacuum settings to avoid the wraparound situation. also tried adding periodic execution of vacuum analyze and vaccum –
and still there is no space reuse. (only vacuum full or pg_repack release space to operating system – but this is not a reuse)
following are our vacuum settings : autovacuum | on vacuum_cost_limit | 6000 autovacuum_analyze_threshold | 50 autovacuum_vacuum_threshold | 50 autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay | 5 autovacuum_max_workers | 32 autovacuum_freeze_max_age | 2000000 autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age | 2000000 vacuum_freeze_table_age | 20000 vacuum_multixact_freeze_table_age | 20000 vacuum_cost_page_dirty | 20 vacuum_freeze_min_age | 10000 vacuum_multixact_freeze_min_age | 10000 log_autovacuum_min_duration | 1000 autovacuum_naptime | 10 autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor | 0 autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor | 0 vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor | 0 vacuum_cost_delay | 0 vacuum_defer_cleanup_age | 0 autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit | -1 autovacuum_work_mem | -1 thanks in advance, Aliza.
