We recently added a text field to a table, and ended up dropping it and
moving it to a separate related table for performance reasons.
Previously, the toast table size was negligible, but now it is over
250MB.
I have tried performing a vacuum full against the table (this is an
inherited table), but it did not appear to reclaim the space.
Is there any way to reclaim the space other than a dump/restore of the
tables?
