I missed the first message in this thread, but I have been testing this. This is what I plan to do:
- wait for DB backup to complete - enter 'halt quiesce" command so the db should be consistent - unloaddb (to disk) - loaddb (from disk) In testing, with out full size DB (47.9GB), it went down to 28.6GB. I am very happy with the results, and am anxious to do it on the prod server.
