Hi Adrian,
Thank you for your fast reply!

>FYI, Postgres 8.4 is over two years past EOL.
Yes, i am aware; we will migrate next year but for application compatibility 
reason we have at the moment to the remain here..


>What are the steps in the load/delete cycle?

We need to load, with pg_bulkload, log datas for reporting.
We load every hours about one million of row and twice a day we generated 
aggregated report.
Then we delete old rows (we cannot use truncate because we only delere rows 
older than 24 hours).
I think, but i can be wrong, that pg_bulkload do not reuse free space marked 
previously by the delete..

Only vacuum full empty free space, but tablea became locked.

Thank you
Francesco
