Subject: ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE and pg_toast
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 08:25:41 -0600
Message-ID: <dnuip3$1rpa$1@news.hub.org> (raw)
We're storing tif images in a table as bytea. We were running low on our
primary space and moved several tables, including the one with the images,
to a second tablespace using ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE.
This moved quite cleaned out quite a bit of space on the original
tablespace, but not as much as it should have. It does not appear that the
corresponding pg_toast tables were moved. So, my questions are:
1) Is there a way to move pg_toast tables to new tablespaces (or at least
assure that new ones are created there)?
2) Also, is there a good way to determine which pg_toast tables are
associated with any particular table and column?
Thank you for your help,
Martin
