Hi, Alvaro,

I am aware that more recent versions > 8.x have fixed this

Usually, only critical data loss and security fixes are put into the
minor updates (e. G. 7.4.0 to 7.4.13). So, if it's not in the
release
notes, it is unlikely that it dit make it into the 7.4 releases.
Except it was solved in 7.4:
Allow B-tree index compaction and empty page reuse (Tom)
Yes, you're right, the change is listed on
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/release-7-4.html
So, as it _is_ in the release notes, this does not render my statement
wrong, but pointless :-)
My understanding is that further work was done to address this in
later versions as well.
My client is experiencing index bloat in 7.4.x.
Dave
Thanks for your correction,
Markus
