Well building a suitable replacement for VACUUM FULL is more work than I was proposing. The no-op ALTER TABLE rebuild still has the disadvantage of requiring 2x the space taken by the table (and potentially more if you have large indexes). I also think it's a safer course of action to create a new command, spend one or two releases improving it until we're sure it meets everyone's needs, then drop the old command. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
