Well, that tells you something about its maintenance state and what sort
of help you can expect if you find yourself in trouble with it.

Cross-posting to multiple lists in quick succession is generally considered 
rude; I see you have posted to the reorg-general list already, which is the 
right forum for questions about pg_repack. (And yes, that "-s" flag sounds like 
what you are after.)

[PERFORM] pg_repack solves alter table set tablespace lock

2014-01-24 Thread Ying He
hi, all,

I have a requirement to move a table to a different storage. I will 
create the tablespace and use alter table set tablespace to achieve it. 
The concern is that the table is pretty big and during the set 
tablespace, application could insert/update/delete records. If there is a lock 
during the operation, it will impact db availability.

I looked at the pg_repack usage and in release 1.2 
http://reorg.github.io/pg_repack/. there is -s tablespace that claims to be an
online version of ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE

is this the functionality that solves the alter table set tablespace lock issue?

For any one using pg_repack, how well does it perform?

Thank you.


best,Ying
