Hi all,
looking at how ctid is used is clear to me:
insert line (A) in a table; ==> ctid = (0, 1);
rollback an update for the line (A);
insert a line (B) in the table; ==> ctid = (0, 3);
vacuum full;
insert a line (C) in the table; ==> ctid = (0, 2);
I was expecting this for a normal vacuum not for a vacuum full.
for a vacuum full I was expecting:
insert line (A) in a table; ==> ctid = (0, 1);
rollback an update for the line (A);
insert a line (B) in the table; ==> ctid = (0, 3);
vacuum full; ( line B moved in ctid ( 0, 2) )
insert a line (C) in the table; ==> ctid = (0, 3);
could this due the fact that moving that tuple will not
save any storage space ?
If not, am I missing something ?
