Hi List,
I am doing some tests to understand vacuum_freeze_table_age and vacuum_freeze_min_age parameters.
Here is my configuration:
postgres=# select name, setting from pg_settings where name = 'vacuum_freeze_min_age';
name | setting
-----------------------+---------
vacuum_freeze_min_age | 50
(1 ligne)
postgres=# select name, setting from pg_settings where name = 'vacuum_freeze_table_age';
name | setting
-------------------------+---------
vacuum_freeze_table_age | 150
(1 ligne)
test table has an age of 51.
hydrodb=# SELECT c.oid::regclass as table_name,
greatest(age(c.relfrozenxid),age(t.relfrozenxid)) as age
FROM pg_class c
LEFT JOIN pg_class t ON c.reltoastrelid = t.oid
WHERE c.relkind IN ('r', 'm') and c.relname='test';
table_name | age
------------+-----
test | 51
(1 ligne)
I expected it not to be processed by vacuum freeze.
However it has been entirely frozen.
Moreover, among the 51 rows, only 1 was eligible for freeze because its XID was older than vacuum_freeze_min_age.
hydrodb=# vacuum verbose test;
