Importing large object (with lo_import) to table in separate tablespaces takes up lots of space in $PGDATA
Hi all.
I'm having a database, called "apeland", which at first (when created) was in the default-tablespace (in $PGDATA), then I moved it with the commands:
# create tablespace apeland location '/home/andreak/programs/postgresql/9.3.5/tablespaces/apeland'; # alter database apeland set tablespace apeland;
CREATE TABLESPACE
Check space-usage before moving:
$ du -hs data/ tablespaces/
59M data/
27M tablespaces/
59M data/
27M tablespaces/
Move the database to new tablespace
ALTER DATABASE
Check space-usage after moving:
$ du -hs data/ tablespaces/
52M data/
34M tablespaces/
52M data/
34M tablespaces/
Then I created this table:
# create table files(data oid);
CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLE
Insert this file:
$ du -hs origo-war-01-14-01.20.war
130M origo-war-01-14-01.20.war
130M origo-war-01-14-01.20.war
# insert into files(data) values(lo_import('/home/andreak/data/origo-war-01-14-01.20.war'));
INSERT 0 1
INSERT 0 1
Check space-usage:
$ du -hs data/ tablespaces/
164M data/
208M tablespaces/
164M data/
208M tablespaces/
Now - why is so much extra space used in $PGDATA? Is there a way to reclame it? Was the "apeland"-db moved completely or is there lots dangeling left in PGDATA?
Thanks.
