Hi  Team

Can we generate a fill factor for tables that have delete ops ?

Does the fill factor really work and help to minimize the bloat for tables
that have delete ops?

I have parent table with weekly partitions So for every week 50 to 60 gb of
bloat generates and autovacuum params already in place for child tables


Regards,
Durga Mahesh

Nothing can ever avoid bloat caused by DELETE, except partitioning in a
way that you can drop a partition rather than running DELETE.

This confuses me.  It seems that you are deleting old data instead of just
dropping the old partitions.

What did I misunderstand?

Hi

I have partitioned table with retention policy of 90 days and will be auto
purged partitions beyond 90 days and  for last 90 days tables inserts and
deletes usually run through apl call
Here due to deletes ops on last 90 days weekly partitions bloat generates
50gb to 60gb for on weekly partition even we set autovacuum params already
in place for at child tables level

Regards,
Durga Mahesh

1) How are you measuring bloat?

2) Are inserts being done on the partitions all the way out to the 90 days?
