Good question. I'm not able to answer that question fully at present as I don't have enough jobs in my current database to know. My currrent database has the following jobs in it: jobid | jobfiles | jobgigs -------+----------+--------- 1 | 7706717 | 6833.90 8 | 3965507 | 4480.83 9 | 1273459 | 129.87 50 | 646336 | 512.07 60 | 7845561 | 6990.67 A full pg_dump of the catalogue is 2.8G. The output of the catalogue snapshot for job 60 is 1.6G. Naturally, the full pg_dump of the whole database will continue to grow over time. (The job 60 cataloge file compresses to about 300MB with bzip2 -9). I'm a little suprised that the proportion of job 60 to the whole is so high. Job 60 is similar to job 1, but I don't expect they share much information. I'll have to look into that.
