Hi,
I have an application where I drop, recreate, reload, and recreate
indexes on a 1 million row table each day. I do this to avoid having to
run vacuum on the table in the case where I might use DELETE or UPDATEs
on deltas.=20
It seems that running vacuum still has value in the above approach
because I still see index row versions were removed. I do not explicitly
drop the indexes because they are dropped with the table.
In considering the use of TRUNCATE I sill have several indexes that if
left in place would slow down the data load.
My question is, what is the best way to manage a large table that gets
reloaded each day?
Drop
Create Table
Load (copy or insert/select)
Create Indexes
Vacuum anyway?
Or...
DROP indexes
Truncate
Load (copy or insert/select)
Create Indexes
And is vacuum still going to be needed?
Many Thanks,
Mike
