Dear Folks, I am running a full vacuum on a database. It's taking longer than I hoped. In particular, the vacuum still hasn't reached the table that will benefit most from the vacuum.
Can I move the existing table to a backup, make a copy of the table back to its original name, restart the application, and run the vacuum on the backup? Or can I reclaim the disk space by dropping the original after making a copy? If I can, without losing data, what is the best way to do that? I am reaching the end of the period when this database application can be disabled. I have never run vacuum full on such a large database (24G) and am desperate to get the application back online. -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24
