<application>clusterdb</application> is a utility for reclustering tables
|
|
|
|
in a <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database. It finds tables
|
2002-09-03 03:11:37 +02:00
|
|
|
that have previously been clustered, and clusters them again on the same
|
|
|
|
index that was last used. Tables that have never been clustered are not
|
2003-02-19 05:06:28 +01:00
|
|
|
affected.
