What made you think that you need +500GB for space to use to optimize?
DBMS wont need too much as that.
It's DBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ...) problem and dbmail doesnt double
your DB size.
Anyway, optimization will delete unused data (such as transactions
log), check indexes, defragment the data file ...
(it's called vacuum in PostgreSQL)
It wont take your hdd spaces but time if your database size gets huge.
