All I'm saying is *if* we put scheduling inside Postgres for autovacuum *then* we should make it general purpose scheduling. If anybody uses the argument that "we have external schedulers, so don't put them in the database" then that argument applies equally to scheduling autovacuum. It's easy to turn autovacuum on/off via an external scheduler, yet look upthread and see how many people think it should be in the database. Whichever way you think the decision should go, the same arguments apply to scheduling autovacuum and scheduling other database maintenance tasks.
OK, I agree with that. cheers andrew -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
