So, I'm wondering if anyone can point me to more specific information
as to when, if ever, you should 'vacuum full?'
1. If you over run your fsm pages
* Except that vacuum full won't reclaim the index usage so use
CLUSTER instead.
2. If you are only repairing bloat on a smaller table.
* It may be faster to backup and restore the table. Since vacuum full
is an exclusive lock anyway it doesn't matter.
Thank you Joshua.
