So, no, that's not good enough.
Hrm. Given the statements that the "VACUUM command rebuilds the entire database" and that the "VACUUM command works by copying the contents of the database into a temporary database file and then overwriting the original with the contents of the temporary file", I would have expected better. Are you sure about this? (And note that I'm not talking about the auto_vacuum feature, which apparently works differently.) -- C.
