pg_repack is an utility program to reorganize tables in PostgreSQL databases. Unlike clusterdb, it doesn't block any selections and updates during reorganization.

Please check the documentation (in the doc directory or online) for installation and usage instructions.

What about pg_reorg?

pg_repack is a fork of the pg_reorg project, which has proven hugely successful; unfortunately its development has somewhat stagnated after the release 1.1.7, with several issues still open (support for PostgreSQL 9.2, EXTENSION, and several bugs to be fixed). After initial consultation with the pg_reorg authors, who showed interest in adopting more up-to-date development tools to receive and encourage collaboration, no further news has been received from them. In the meantime we are releasing pg_repack 1.1.8 as a drop-in replacement for pg_reorg, addressing the pg_reorg 1.1.7 bugs and shortcomings and developing new features to be release in a future 1.2 version. pg_repack may be an interim solution, should the pg_reorg project come back to activity.

In the meantime, not having received further news from the pg_reorg authors, we wish everything is fine with them, we thank them for the quality code they have released to the community, and wish them good luck, in the hope to hear from them again.
