do a big delete recently? any other open transactions?
Some inserts were taking place. Roughly 2 to 5 million rows inside transactions. We were doing some ETL and each batch represented a file we were loading. We need to have the entire file or roll back so each file is done within a transaction.
the remedy for the former is to simply eat it (one time penalty) or rebuild the table. for the latter you simply have to resolve the other transaction.
I think it is related to the inserts... after they were done everything was back to normal.
how big is your table according to pg_relation_size()?
\dt+ is easier. :-) 116GB -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
