Hello, pgsql 7.3.2 on Linux 2.4.18:
I observe huge files (200Mb-1GB) in the database base dir which belong to pg_toast_<OID>_index relations. The <OID> itself is a pointer to a user table relation which looks quite fine, not too big, say 2000 rows with moderate data. These user tables are typically written to very often. I tried to vacuum full the corresponding user table, reindex this table or even drop the indexes to no avail. pg_toast_<OID>_index stays the same big size. How can I reclaim space on this relation and what is it used for? Thanks for help, Dirk ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
