In my postgresql 9.6 instance I have 1 production database. When I query the size of all databases :
combit=> Select pg_database.datname,pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(pg_database.datname)) as size from pg_database;
datname | size
-----------+---------
template0 | 7265 kB
combit | 285 GB
postgres | 7959 kB
template1 | 7983 kB
repmgr | 8135 kB
(5 rows)When I check what are the big tables in my database (includes indexes) :
combit=> SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS "relation",
combit-> pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "total_size"
combit-> FROM pg_class C
combit-> LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
combit-> WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')
combit-> AND C.relkind <> 'i'
combit-> AND nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
combit-> ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) DESC
combit-> LIMIT 20;
relation | total_size
-----------------------------+------------
rep.ps_rf_inst_prod | 48 GB
rep.nap_inter_x5 | 46 GB
rep.man_x5 | 16 GB
rep.tc_fint_x5 | 9695 MB
rep.nap_ip_debit_x5 | 7645 MB
rep.ip__billing | 5458 MB
rep.ps_rd | 3417 MB
rep.nap_ip_discount | 3147 MB
rep.custo_x5 | 2154 MB
rep.ip_service_discou_x5 | 1836 MB
rep.tc_sub_rate__x5 | 294 MBThe total sum is not more than 120G.
When I check the fs directly :
[/data/base] : du -sk * | sort -n
7284 13322
7868 13323
7892 1
8156 166694
298713364 16400[/data/base] :
16400 is the oid of the combit database. As you can see the size of combit on the fs is about 298G.
I checked for dead tuples in the biggest tables :
combit=>select relname,n_dead_tup,last_autoanalyze,last_analyze,last_autovacuum,last_vacuum from pg_stat_user_tables order by n_live_tup desc limit4;
-[ RECORD 1 ]----+------------------------------
relname | ps_rf_inst_prod
n_dead_tup | 0
last_autoanalyze | 2017-12-04 09:00:16.585295+02

last_autovacuum |
last_vacuum | I run vacuum full on all 5 top tables 2 hours ago and it didnt free alot of space...
On this database the only operations that happen are truncate , insert and select. So how can it be that I had dead tuples on some of my tables ? If I only run truncate,select,insert query tuples shouldnt be created..
And the bigger question, Where are the missing 180G ?
