i try to compare two methods of garbage-collect.(Postgresql Ver:8.1.3) 1. enable autovacuum without using vacuumdb -f mydb in crontab. 2. using crontab to vacuumdb in every 10 min (autovacuum disable) the method 2 got more free space than method 1. the disk size of database still increased in method 1. so, what's the advantage of autovacuum? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/about-the-performance-of-autovacuum-and-vacuumdb--%E9%81%B8%E9%A0%85-tp14431695p14431695.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
