Let’s say you have a huge table in postgres and the table file on disk is bloated because it contains old versions of rows or deleted rows. You really want to run VACUUM FULL to reclaim that space. However, you can’t afford a maintenance window so that the exclusive lock from VACUUM FULL won’t block queries on that table. pg_reorg brilliantly creates a new table without the bloat, and it swaps into place without blocking a bunch of queries.

The fake review meme is also intertwined, since one of the Compound’s reviews asked if they got Osama’s stash of Tuscan whole milk, which has 1,262 reviews on Amazon. Another funny comment talked about sitting through a session on hideout timeshares.

The write cache does not have a battery, so you can lose data during a power outage, which is extremely important on a DB server. If you turn the write cache off, it becomes terribly slow.

I’m not sure where that expression comes from. Maybe, it’s because of Jesse in this video, because I’m sure my dog didn’t inspire the term.
