I have deleted a large number of records from my_table, which originally had 288 MB. Then I ran vacuum full to make the table size smaller. After this operation size of the table remains the same, despite of the fact that table contains now only 241 rows and after rewriting it in classic way: CREATE TABLE new_table AS SELECT * FROM old_table - new_table size is 24kB. What went wrong? And how can I remove those blocks? -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/VACUUM-FULL-doesn-t-reduce-table-size-tp5840782.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
