Hi Remi!

 

This SQL function you have provided, seems to return all valid files, is that correct? In my case, it returned all my ‘base/’ files. Is that normal?

If yes, maybe you rename the function to ‘find_useful_postgres_files’ ;-)

 

Could you explain in steps how to use this function to make a cleanup of bloated data? (like in an example with commands and example output, if possible of course)

 

Thanks!

 

 

Mit besten Grüßen / With best regards,

Johnny Morano

Would you add a new page to the wiki with this?
