Re: Huge table pg_shdepend - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi zuhair

Thank's for your quick response. To use pg_repack it is not an option unfortunately, because it's not possible to install additional software at the db server. Are there other options to do with the postgresql onboard tools?

Regards
Horst

Hi Horst,

Try pg_repack

Hi

I'm struggling with a huge table pg_shdepend. My database has a size of
640MB exclude the size of the system tables. But the real size of the db
is more than 2GB. The reason is a huge table pg_shdepend with more than
32000000 records.  PgAdmin3 shows a table size of
1885MB and an index size of 1690MB. This looks strange for me, because
this size is a multiple amount of the db size itself. I believe, that
there are a lot of rubbish in that table, but I'm not sure.

I had run a vacuum full process, but this didn't help. Could anyone give
me an advice how to clean the table pg_shdepend or reduce the table size?

Any hit would be appreciated.

Regards
Horst
