When dropping lots of tables, I noticed postgresql taking longer than I would have expected. strace seems to report that the largest contributor is the ftruncate and not the unlink. I'm curious what the logic is behind using ftruncate before unlink. I'm using an ext4 filesystem. -- Jon -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
