对于PostgreSQL处理MVCC（数据文件中新增tuple）的方式；相比其他数据库(Oracle、Mysql)而言；更容易触发表/索引膨胀。因为update操作也会影响表膨胀的问题。PostgreSQL处理的方式是对表autovacuum，vacuum是不会降低水位线。能避免表、索引膨胀。vacuum full,reindex才会降低水位线。
当然通过update带来的表膨胀的情况还可以接受；PostgreSQL处理的方式是对表autovacuum。所以能autovacuum的一般不会对表膨胀带来大的影响。影响autovacuum进行对表回收的情况；大致有3种情况
长事务：数据库上有长时间没有提交的事务
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE STATE = 'Idle in transaction';未提交的2pc事务：这个特性是为分布式功能扩展的，非分布式的架构默认是关闭的
SELECT gid, PREPARED, OWNER, DATABASE, TRANSACTION AS xmin FROM pg_prepared_xacts ORDER BY age( TRANSACTION ) DESC复制槽：逻辑复制、流复制都会有复制槽；复制槽的作用：通过记录复制的当前位置；保证备库、订阅端未接收到的数据不会在主库删除。但是废弃的复制槽会影响表的vacuum。这个是危害最大的
SELECT slot_name, slot_type, DATABASE, xmin FROM pg_replication_slots ORDER BY age( xmin ) DESC;2|0二、监控
如何知道表膨胀呢？即监控

使用pg_reorg|pg_repack、pg_squeeze或者vacuum full可以回收膨胀的空间
--http://www.postgres.cn/news/viewone/1/224
索引膨胀会影响查询效率；处理索引膨胀的方法：重建索引
创建新索引 create index CONCURRENTLY new_index 删除旧索引 drop index new_index 或者 reindex index ... CONCURRENTLY4|0四、避免表/索引膨胀
4|14.1、实例级调整
合理调整autovacuum参数;
4|24.2、数据表级调整
1、 设置合适的autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor, 大表如果频繁的有更新或删除和插入操作, 建议设置较小的autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor来降低浪费空间，加快对表的vacuum操作频率
对更新频繁的表，单独调整
alter table tablename set (autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.05);2、设置表的fillfactor；对频繁更新的表；调低fillfactor参数
alter table tablename set (fillfactor = 85) 标签：iotta,www,END,ipages,14549463,ELSE,ma,relpages,cnblogs From： https://www.cnblogs.com/zclzc/p/18320145
