Well, maybe I am. But I am worried because I know that there are some tables that do lots of updates and delete. As this concept is new for me, I am trying to be prepared to detect a situation like this. ------------------------------------------ It all depends on pattern of your inserts/updates/deletes. If your index accumulates lots of almost (but not completely) empty pages with just few entries left, than - yes, REINDEX "is your friend". b.t.w., this concept is not unique to Postgres, it's just a nature of B-tree indexes.
