Hello Ravi,

Total number of index is 10 and 65GB is the sum total of index size of all indexes for table "tstock_movement"
I am attaching the screen shot for your reference.

Hi Team,

We are facing a problem in our PostgreSQL production database related to abnormal growth of index size. Some of the indexes are having abnormal growth and index size is larger than table data size.
One table is having 75 G.B of index though table size is only 25 G.B. On monthly basis we are performing vacuum to release the used space.

I am attaching the screen shot for your reference. Could you please help us in resolving the same as this is degrading performance drastically.

How many indexes are there in the table tstock_movement? Could it be that 65GB is the sum total of index size of all indexes.
