pgAdmin 4

pgAdmin 4

(OP)
Anybody use this for backups and would you recommend it?

RE: pgAdmin 4

I used it when for other DBs in PostgreSQL, it calls the same commands as the IPOCC backup would.

Thanks for getting back to me Janni.
Changing direction slightly, are there any commands or tools pgAdmin that cleans or shrinks a database?
I particular the c3k database, it is currently 100GB.
I have used Email Configuration, Documents tab to delete 1000's of emails, but the database doesn't seem to get smaller.

RE: pgAdmin 4

You can run VACUUM to reclaim unused storage space.

Can it be done during working hours and is it as simple as right click, maintenance, vacuum, full?

RE: pgAdmin 4

Yeah, you can run it during work hours, depends on how much resources you have on the server as it will probably take a while if the database is 100GB.
