Hi list,
i always vaccumed my postgresql automatically with crontab, because
autovacuum is not suitable for my applications. With version 8.2 it
works perfect for me with this command line:
00 02 * * * postgres /usr/bin/vacuumdb -d gis -z
But not with 9.0, because vacuumdb now wants to have the password to
connect to the db.
version has nothing to do with it. You had to change pg_hba.conf - most
likely you changes "trust" authentication for local connections to
something like md5 or password.
it works exactly the same way in 8.2 as in 9.0 - if connection has
"trust" authenticator - password is not necessary.
i did not find any options to send the password with the command
line in vacuumdb!?
best options are to either use .pgpass file (described here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/libpq-pgpass.html)
or setup system in such way that postgres user can login locally without
password, using ident authenticator. be warned though that ident, when
not well configured, is a common source of problems - described for
example here: http://www.depesz.com/index.php/2007/10/04/ident/
Best regards,
depesz
