> That's what I was thinking to do, but how do I distinguish between the databases ? The datadir/base seems have directories whose names are numbers. Use pg_database_size function to get the size of DB. You can create a plpgsql function, which you can schedule using pgagent Or If you are writing Bash script capture the return value of pg_database_size function, in some variable and perform vacuum.
