It may be, when you perform vacuum full, some of the processes connected to the same or another database that could be holding on to the pg_shdepend table?
I'm struggling with a huge table pg_shdepend. My database has a size of 640MB exclude the size of the system tables. But the real size of the db is more than 2GB. The reason is a huge table pg_shdepend with more than 32000000 records. PgAdmin3 shows a table size of 1885MB and an index size of 1690MB. This looks strange for me, because this size is a multiple amount of the db size itself. I believe, that there are a lot of rubbish in that table, but I'm not sure.
I had run a vacuum full process, but this didn't help. Could anyone give me an advice how to clean the table pg_shdepend or reduce the table size?
Any hit would be appreciated.
