> We need that as well, not instead of. I disagree; adding every frammish anyone could ever think of is not an overall improvement to the system. My feeling is that we should be trying to eliminate use-cases for cron-driven vacuuming, not trying to make sure that cron-driven scripts can do anything autovacuum can. The main remaining use-case seems to me to make vacuuming work adhere to some business-determined schedule, hence maintenance windows seem like the next thing to do. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
