Indexes are stored separately. There should be no free space (why would there be? FILLFACTOR is 100!) and I've vacuumed already.
That's a fair point.
611MB (actual disk size) - 138MB (summed data size) = 483MB
11M rows (ish).
That's nearly 48 bytes extra per row.
Let's say around 249MB (23 bytes per row, according to that page) for the columns you mention, so that leaves 234MB unexplained.
I can see 44 bytes per page header (given 5 columns, so 20 bytes ItemIdData, with 24 bytes PageHeaderData). Given page size of 8kb that would imply page headers of about 3.3MB over a 611MB table.
Even with some bytes for alignment I'm Still not seeing where 230MB (more than the space taken by the data itself) of my disk is gone.
Thanks!
