Could you please add to your to do list a schema parameter for vacuum?
Example: VACUUM SCHEMA xyz; PostgreSQL would get a list of all of the tables found in the schema. It would then loop through vacuuming each table in the schema. I found today that I did not have max_fsm_pages set high enough in order to vacuum the entire database. I vacuum daily to avoid problems. After realizing that I cannot vacuum the entire database now, I then had to do it at the table level. I had to go through all 13 of my schemas and list each table I found into an SQL vacuum script. This was a real waist of time. I will eventually restart PostgreSQL with an increased value for max_fsm_pages so this will not be an issue. But until then I will have to run a new script. I created a script with 420 SQL vacuum statements at the table level. I would have preferred to create 13 vacuum SQL statements at the schema level. Thanks for considering this enhancement, Lance Campbell Project Manager/Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs University of Illinois 217.333.0382 http://webservices.uiuc.edu
