Need to ask all the expert here, i have a schedule running on every night to backup the database to name.sql file, i found this files was grown everyday until 1.3GB now. is it the slow because of the database? or any idea that i can reduce the database size. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Database-in-psql-tp5728767.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
