It will. Each table is stored in its own set of disk files, and when

Hello,
as you all may know, the GROUP BY clause in PostgreSQL has to be parameterized
with all fields that appear in the SELECT clause (except aggregates).
So
SELECT id, foo, sum(bar)
FROM table1
GROUP BY id, foo;
is perfectly valid, where
SELECT id, foo, sum(bar)
FROM table1

pgsql stores table names in pg_class.relname, column names in
pg_attribute.attname.

I was just wondering if we can export just the schema/metadata in Postgres (i.e. just the table and column information, without the data). Is there an easy way to do this in Postgres?

Hello all,

frequency, so 15G -> 20G isn't terribly surprising. I would suggest
using pg_autovacuum instead of the continuous vacuum; it's very possible
