I do a graph about my disk usage and it's a ramp since one week, I'll continue to wait in order to see if it will decrease. I was expecting the steady state at something like 4 GB ( after a full vacuum and reindex ) + 10 % = 4.4 GB I'm at 4.6 GB and increasing. I'll see how it will continue. >># vacuum full verbose messages; >>INFO: vacuuming "public.messages" >>INFO: "messages": found 77447 removable, 1606437 nonremovable row versions >>in 69504 pages >>... >>INFO: "messages": moved 55221 row versions, truncated 69504 to 63307 pages > > > 10% overhead sounds fairly reasonable to me. How does that compare to > the amount of updating you do on the table --- ie, do you turn over 10% > of the table in a day? Less, that table have 1.6 milion rows, and I insert 2000 rows in a day with almost ~ 40000 update in one day. So it's something like: 2.5 % Regards Gaetano Mendola ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
