Having just started to use POSTGRES 7.3.1 for windows I have been quite happy with most of the results.
However I have just checked the datafile sizes in my postgresql data directory and found it is 990mb. The original database concerned (Sybase SQL Anywhere 8) is 100mb in size.
In PGAdminII I have been clicking on the "Vacume/Analyse" button so why would the postgresql database be SO large? Is the data storage really that inefficient?
Thanks very much for a lovely product. But I will have to wait before promoting this package to clients. Its other problem is it does not re-start seemlessly if the user "crashes" the machine. Many users do not have very much experise at all when it comes to their machines.
