Oggetto: Re: [GENERAL] Vacuum full: alternatives?Any reason why you need the space back? What is wrong with space remaining constant at 4GB.

Hello,
we have a table with an heavy traffic of pg_bulkload and delete of records.
The size pass, in only one day, for example for 1Gb to 4Gb and then 1Gb back.
We have important problems on size and the only way to gain free space is issueing a vacuum full <table>.
But the operation is very slow, sometimes 2/4 hours, and table is not available for services as it is locked.
We do not delete everything at one (in this case the truncate woudl resolve the problem).
The autovacuum is not able (same for normal vacuum) to free the spaces.
Are there some suggestions or another way to manage this?
Thank you!
Francesco

AND space is reclaimed by the O/S, so it's the best of both worlds.

Few things you can try :
1. Partition your table dailyalter table table_name set (autovacuum_enabled=true, autovacuum_vacuum_threshold=5000, autovacuum_analyze_threshold=5000, autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.1, autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor=0.2);
Read this before tuning : https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-autovacuum.html
3. If you can recreate/alter your table, create/alter with a fillfactor of 20 so that your deleted rows resides in the same page.It might use extra space but you will face less fragmentation problems.link : https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-createtable.html
