Hi Remi! This SQL function you have provided, seems to return all valid files, is that correct? In my case, it returned all my ‘base/’ files. Is that normal? If yes, maybe you rename the function to ‘find_useful_postgres_files’ ;-)
Could you explain in steps how to use this function to make a cleanup of bloated data? (like in an example with commands and example output, if possible of course) Thanks!
