update, truncate and vacuum

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I have a couple questions about how update, truncate and vacuum would work together.

1) If I update a table foo (id int, value numeric (20, 6))
with
update foo set value = 100 where id = 1

Would a vacuum be necessary after this type of operation since the updated value is a numeric? (as opposed to a sql type where its size could potentially change i.e varchar)

2) After several updates/deletes to a table, if I truncate it, would it be necessary to run vacuum in order to reclaim the space?

thanks,
Scott
