Out of curiousity; When does it get freed, when VACUUM FULL'ed?
Yes. VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER will free the space. (Of course, you need a lot of free disk space to perform those operations.) I'm sure there's a good reason for why VACUUM FULL needs to rewreite the whole table and cannot "just free the unused space to the OS". -- Andreas Joseph Krogh CTO / Partner - Visena AS Mobile: +47 909 56 963 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> www.visena.com <https://www.visena.com> <https://www.visena.com>
