Good morning,

A question about VACUUM FULL. The docs say:

VACUUM FULL is recommended for cases where you know you have deleted the majority of rows in a table, so that the steady-state size of the table can be shrunk substantially with VACUUM FULL's more aggressive approach. Use plain VACUUM, not VACUUM FULL, for routine vacuuming for space recovery.

I have a table from around 10 million to 90,000, after deletion, I tried to use vacuum full, but it seems that it takes forever to finish. Could anyone tell me how long it will take to finish the Recovering disk space please?

Thanks a lot!
