vacuuming your database . So try to execute command vacuum analyze
<<table name >>; in your schema where you are facing problem.

Hi,

We are using PostgreSQL 7.4.5 and facing issues with increasing disk
space.

Here is some information about our configuration.

The data dump size is around 3 GB. And it is occupying around 120GB on
the disk. When we recreate the database from data dump it takes around
3.5GB of disk space.
But the database size increases by 1 GB daily though actual data added
maybe in KB. We are not able to decipher as to what is causing this
increase.

Suggestions on the likely problems will be appreciated.

Regards,
Devendra
