|
pg_repack_ is an utility program to reorganize tables in PostgreSQL databases.
|
|
Unlike clusterdb_, it doesn't block any selections and updates during
|
|
reorganization.
|
|
|
|
Please check the documentation (in the ``doc`` directory or online_) for
|
|
installation and usage instructions.

What about pg_reorg?
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
pg_repack is a fork of the pg_reorg_ project, which has proven hugely
|
|
successful; unfortunately its development has somewhat stagnated after the
|
|
release 1.1.7, with several issues still open (support for PostgreSQL 9.2,
|
|
EXTENSION, and several bugs to be fixed). After initial consultation with the
|
|
pg_reorg authors, who showed interest in adopting more up-to-date development
|
|
tools to receive and encourage collaboration, no further news has been
|
|
received from them. In the meantime we are releasing pg_repack 1.1.8 as a
|
|
drop-in replacement for pg_reorg, addressing the pg_reorg 1.1.7 bugs and
|
|
shortcomings and developing new features to be release in a future 1.2
|
|
version. pg_repack may be an interim solution, should the pg_reorg project
|
|
come back to activity.
|
|
|
|
In the meantime, not having received further news from the pg_reorg authors,
|
|
we wish everything is fine with them, we thank them for the quality code they
|
|
have released to the community, and wish them good luck, in the hope to hear
|
|
from them again.
