Welcome to the pg_reorg Project Home Page

---

pg_reorg can re-organize tables on a postgres database without any locks so that you can retrieve or update rows in tables being reorganized. The module is developed to be a better alternative of CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL.

The pg_reorg project is a PostgreSQL Community project that is a part of the pgFoundry.

The pgFoundry page for the project is at http://pgfoundry.org/projects/reorg, where you can find downloads, documentation, bug reports, mailing lists, and a whole lot more.

Execution time

Here is a comparison between pg_reorg and clusterdb. Clusterdb is faster on not fragmented conditions, but pg_reorg is faster on fully fragmented conditions. Since reorganization is needed only if tables are fragmented, pg_reorg should be faster than clusterdb.
