Hmmm... a full vacuum may help to re-organize the structure of modified
tables, but whether this is significant or not is another matter. I don't
know enough of the internals to comment on that maybe someone else who knows
more can.
The obvious thing is the vacuum memory setting (in postgresql.conf).
Presumably, you could set this quite high at least just for the duration of
the vacuum anyway.
Would the total time be reduced by dropping the indexes, then vacuuming and
rebuilding the indexes? I havn't tried anything like this so I can't say.
You should probably say what version of the db you are using and describe
your system a little.
Regards
Iain

But I need to do full vacuum because I deleted some of the fields that are
not use anymore and I also add another fields. Is there

Hi,
just make sure that your freespace map is big enough and then do a vacuum
analyse without the full option.
I can imagine that database performance might not be as good as it would
be after a vacuum full, though I expect that it wouldn't make much
difference.

Iain

Subject: [PERFORM] VACCUM FULL ANALYZE PROBLEM
Hi,
I have 3 tables in the database with 80G of data, one of them is almost
40G and the remaining 2 tables has 20G each.
We use this database mainly for query and updating is done only
quarterly and the database perform well. My problem
is after updating and then run VACCUM FULL ANALYZE vacuuming the tables
takes days to complete. I hope someone
can help me solve my problem.
Thanks
