Hi Jeff This query returns "tmpcarteprotection4" tmpcarteprotection4 is old and useless, it could be dropped. Before dropping it is there something else I should do? Thank you very much for your help Steve

So I killed the process and restat postgres. The database is up and running but I didn't get the 40gig of disk space back. And only 5gig remains on the server It is this table that is so huge pg_toast.pg_toast_11037520 What table (if any) does it belong to? "select relname from pg_class where oid=11037520" Cheers, Jeff
