From http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/routine-vacuuming.html :
"Recommended practice for most sites is to schedule a database-wide VACUUM once a day at a low-usage time of day, supplemented by more frequent vacuuming of heavily-updated tables if necessary. (Some installations with extremely high update rates vacuum their busiest tables as often as once every few minutes.) If you have multiple databases in a cluster, don't forget to VACUUM each one; the program vacuumdb might be helpful." Do we still want that to be our formal recommendation? ISTM it would be more logical to recommend a combination of autovac, daily vacuumdb -a if you can afford it and have a quiet period, and frequent manual vacuuming of things like web session tables. I'm happy to come up with a patch, but I figure there should be consensus first... -- Jim Nasby [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)
