Re: vacuum full...

[Rafael Domiciano <rafael.domiciano@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used to run vacuum full in one of my bases, but now i'm not running anymore vacuum full, just vacuum analyze in the past 1 month, but the number of necessary pages is increasing every day, now it's in 311264... there is any problem this get increasing?
When I runned Reindex few days ago, this number get not decreased.
I now that vacuum full reorders the relation, but it's the only thing that it does?

Thnks,

Rafael Domiciano

No.  But may I ask why you are running vacuum full?  Is it a regular
thing.  Do all your tables in all your dbs actually need it?
