Обсуждение: pg_sorttemp files
I found a couple of pg_sorttemp* files in my database directory. Is it safe to delete these? They're quite large (around 40MB each) and have a creation date of a couple of days ago. Brian -- Brian Baquiran <brianb@edsamail.com> http://www.baquiran.com/ AIM: bbaquiran
As soon as every postgres back-end server if closed, it is safe to delete these files. I do a... ps axf | grep -e "[P]ID" -e "[p]ost" ... to check for living back-ends...

Ok, thanks. But why are they there in the first place, then?

These files are temporary files used by back-ends while sorting (as their names tell). They where probably forgotten whenthe back-end finished (either a died back-end or some sort or abnormal thing). The fact that these files are big canmean that the corresponding back-ends had problems with the involved queries, thus died without erasing the files.
