Slow Query and Big File Size even after emptying - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi All,

I checked the file size of my database and it's 115GB. I already figured out which tables suck up all the space and I decided to delete all the entries in them. But still after emptying (DELETE FROM <tablename>), the file size still hasn't changed. I already tried to VACUUM the table. Also, even if there are already 0 records within the table that I emptied, when I query to that table it's so slow and then it just gives a 0 results.

Is there anything that I missed out here? Like do I need to do some other cleanups within postgres(eg. cache, etc)?


TIA for your replies. It would be very much appreciated.
