Subject: [ADMIN] Index size growing
To: <pgsql-admin@postgresql.org>
Hi,
I have 50 GB data base folder for postgres. Out of 50 GB 20 GB has been
occupied by 8 indexes of a single table by growing upto 2 GB each. I googled
and got the info that reindex will help brining back the actual size of the
index. But the disk has only 4 GB left . Due to this, when i run reindex it
is getting almost full. I don't know exactly why it is growing like that
during reindex. Due to this i am not able to complete the reindex and see if
i get back the disk spacce. Please suggest me a good solution and the way
that i am doing is logical or not.
Regards,
Rajendra
