Hi guys,

I am having problems with freeing disk space after a massive delete operation on a table that had approximately 80 million record. I ran the following command, by setting the vacuum memory to approximately a GigaByte:

SET vacuum_mem TO 1024000

VACUUM FULL ANALYSE VERBOSE oltp.requests

Here is what I get:

There were 34221203 unused item pointers.
Total free space (including removable row versions) is 8969616624 bytes.
1129827 pages are or will become empty, including 0 at the end of the table.

But here, the command simply hangs.

The table description is:

    "requests_id_url_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id_url) REFERENCES oltp.urls(id_url) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE
Tablespace: "htminer_oltp"

Should I drop the indexes and re-create them?

Thanks,
