I would rather not leave my database down long enough to copy the entire db
(3.5GB). I have control over when changes are applied to this table. If I
restart the database and make certain no updates/inserts/deletes occur then
will all info be flushed from the pg_log file? If not, how about if I first
vacuum the table?
