I'm trying to diagnose a problem that happened during vacuum full. It is a programming problem triggered by some lock, delay whatever, happening during vacuum. Making large updates to a bunch of tables is a PITA just to obtain a slow VACUUM FULL. Restoring a "fragmented" DB doesn't look as a working strategy. The restore shouldn't be fragmented. What are the "side effects" of a vacuum full? Any cheaper way to cause a heavy vacuum full or just its side effects? thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
