Nous exécutons un «manuel» VACUUM ANALYZE VERBOSE
sur certaines de nos tables plus volumineuses après y avoir DELETE/INSERT
apporté des modifications majeures . Cela semble fonctionner sans problème, bien que parfois le VACUUM
travail d' une table s'exécute pendant des heures (voir ce post pour des problèmes et un raisonnement similaires).
En faisant plus de recherches, j'ai trouvé que nous avons de grandes tables avec un grand nombre de tuples morts même après l'exécution VACUUM
. Par exemple, voici certaines des statistiques produites à partir de la requête dans cette réponse .
-[ RECORD 50 ]--+---------------------------

Le dernier champ indique que ceux-ci (et la plupart des tableaux) atteindraient le seuil d'autovacuum. Cependant, après avoir simplement exécuté VACUUM ANALYZE VEBOSE
sur chacune de ces tables, le nombre de tuples morts ne devrait-il pas être 0 (ou proche de 0, pas 125M de 300M)?
La documentation indique:
VACUUM récupère le stockage occupé par les tuples morts.
Est-ce à dire que notre VACUUM
ne fonctionne pas?

Ce tableau affiche désormais 0 tuples morts dans les statistiques. La plupart des tables sont des tuples morts beaucoup plus bas ce matin, donc notre VACUUM
ou notre aspirateur fonctionne.
Nous avons une poignée de tables qui ne produisent rien et affichent toujours des tuples morts:

J'ai vu plusieurs fois dans les journaux où les index seront vérifiés encore et encore. Cela semble correspondre à des VACUUM
emplois de longue durée . Une idée pourquoi? Est-ce que cela fonctionne uniquement autour du verrouillage des enregistrements (je ne pense pas que des écritures se soient produites pendant l'exécution de ces travaux)

indique que vous n'avez pas de transactions longues qui bloqueraient la suppression des tuples morts.
