Hi, Running 8.4.4 on Centos. A couple of these numbers don't make sense to me. (I added line numbers for reference) 1 vacuum verbose authors_archive; 2 INFO: vacuuming "public.authors_archive" 3 INFO: scanned index "authors_archive_pkey" to remove 45878 row versions 4 DETAIL: CPU 0.05s/0.34u sec elapsed 0.41 sec. 5 INFO: "authors_archive": removed 45878 row versions in 396 pages 6 DETAIL: CPU 0.00s/0.00u sec elapsed 0.00 sec. 7 INFO: index "authors_archive_pkey" now contains 5012898 row versions in 13886 pages 8 DETAIL: 45878 index row versions were removed. 9 138 index pages have been deleted, 12 are currently reusable. 10 CPU 0.00s/0.00u sec elapsed 0.00 sec. 11 INFO: "authors_archive": found 16558 removable, 7300 nonremovable row versions in 492 out of 51958 pages 12 DETAIL: 0 dead row versions cannot be removed yet. 13 There were 4687 unused item pointers. 14 0 pages are entirely empty. I was the only one touching this table. Since the previous vacuum, I deleted 45,878 rows. Line 5 says it removed all 45,878 tuples, that's fine. Line 11 now says it found only 16,558 removable tuples. What does this mean? Line 11 also says there are 7,300 non-removable tuples. I expected 0. What does this mean? Line 12 says that 0 dead tuples cannot be removed, which seems correct to me, but seems to contradict Line 11. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Need-help-understanding-vacuum-verbose-output-tp2265895p2265895.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
