Hi everyone, Regarding the mentioned TODO item, the past discussion as I see from the following thread:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-01/msg00879.php concludes that during vacuum full, the relations' indexes should be recreated via REINDEX, rather than updating them. One solution which I see to this is to simply invoke reindex_relation(), or the lower level reindex_index() function somewhere after full_vacuum_rel() routine is done with its work. I prototyped this and it does solve the problem of index bloating during vacuum full. However this may not be the best solution since full_vacuum_rel function is still updating the relation's indexes. The other solution could be to not update the indexes at all (just REINDEX it). But this does'nt seem to fit in with the current implementation of repair_frag() function. What do you all think would be the correct approach to solve this? Thanks
