Hi, I can only think, You could try to parse page files. If you didn't do VACCUM FULL you could try to restore it, if those rows was not overwritten after VACCUM (normal). Maybe some "internal" guys can give you answer (if e.g. VACCUM (nomral) zeros row). The programm to restore will bo so tricky as file system undelete, and it will have same requirements as. Here I found some link (I gooled "postgresql find deleted tuples"): http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Restore-deleted-rows-td2005963.html I think I saw quite interesting idea of "trash" for vaccumed tuples.
