The following command gives me
select pg_size_pretty (pg_indexes_size('test_table'));
pg_size_pretty
----------------
5216 MB
(1 row)
So right now, the indexes on that table are taking about 5.2 GB, if a
machine has 512 GB of RAM and SSDs, is it safe to assume I can achieve
the same update that takes 1.5 minutes in less than 5 seconds while
having 600 million rows of data without partitioning?
