Hi Experts,

Greetings !!

Background - PG version 9.4
Linux - Rhel

I have a scenario in production environment where the DB size is close to 4
TB and couple of tables are 1.5TB each.

Now, as the table are highly transactional therefore there is lot of bloat
in tables. While I run Vaccum Full in weekend when there is no incoming
connection, vacuum full never completes in 2 days.

Firstly, I wanted to know what are the factor I should consider to speed up
Vacuum Full process other than investing memory.

Secondly are there any other option to reclaim space. (Pg_repck is a
option). I am looking for more option if available.

Thank you everyone.
