Hi Adrian, Thank you for your fast reply! >FYI, Postgres 8.4 is over two years past EOL. Yes, i am aware; we will migrate next year but for application compatibility reason we have at the moment to the remain here.. >What are the steps in the load/delete cycle? We need to load, with pg_bulkload, log datas for reporting. We load every hours about one million of row and twice a day we generated aggregated report. Then we delete old rows (we cannot use truncate because we only delere rows older than 24 hours). I think, but i can be wrong, that pg_bulkload do not reuse free space marked previously by the delete.. Only vacuum full empty free space, but tablea became locked.
