Yes, and also from the original post: > 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. Line 5 is talking about the relation, not the index, right? Anyway, I know it did remove 45878 row versions, cuz that's how many I deleted, and the stats now say 0 dead tuples. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Need-help-understanding-vacuum-verbose-output-tp2265895p2266825.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
