I have to write a 700 GB large database to a dump to clean out a lot of dead records on an Ubuntu server with postgres 8.3.8. What is the proper procedure to succeed with this - last time the dump stopped at 3.8 GB size I guess. Should I combine the -Fc option of pg_dump and and the split command ?
vacuum should clean out the dead tuples, then cluster on any large tables that are bloated will sort them out without needing too much temporary space.
