Re: PostgreSQL reclaiming table space

[Anthony Bull <antsbull@xxxxxxxxx>]

About 3 hours after the Vacuum full completed, the disk space got returned to the OS - now Windows is reporting it has all that disk back.  Must have been waiting for something?  Anyway, great news!

I did not run analyze, only vacuum full - the disk usage reported by the OS has stayed the same also - the data folder under postgres is still at over 25GB.  Postgres itself also still reports db size at 25GB, but when I ask postgres for a table breakdown by size, it reports only about 9GB of tables in the db.

Will analyze help?  I was under the impression that was more for statistics gathering and index optimising?

Did you run analyze?
Did the disk usage reported by the OS shrink?
