Everyday we have a lot of pg_bulkload and delete.
Thank you! Francesco

Any reason why you need the space back? What is wrong with space remaining constant at 4GB.

Hello,
we have a table with an heavy traffic of pg_bulkload and delete of records. The size pass, in only one day, for example for 1Gb to 4Gb and then 1Gb back.
We have important problems on size and the only way to gain free space is issueing a vacuum full <table>. But the operation is very slow, sometimes 2/4 hours, and table is not available for services as it is locked.
We do not delete everything at one (in this case the truncate woudl resolve the problem).
The autovacuum is not able (same for normal vacuum) to free the spaces.
Are there some suggestions or another way to manage this?
