I think questions (1) and (2) are best answered in the docs: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/routine-vacuuming.html#AUTOVACUUM Please have a read and let us know if you have further questions. > 3 - on autovacuum is executed vacuum with FULL option or not? No, by design autovacuum never invokes any blocking activity. > 4 - if autovacuum is running and i do a reload config setting autovacuum off > this process will be down? The launcher will be shut down, but any worker currently processing tables will continue until finished with its tables. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
