That's something to seriously reconsider.

That and a non-FULL VACUUM command after VACUUM FULL.  Unlike what
you might expect based on the FULL option, a VACUUM FULL does not
do everything that a non-FULL VACUUM does, and actually drops any
existing visibility map and free space map -- potentially making
subsequent queries against the table slower until a normal VACUUM
(or autovacuum occurs).  I strongly recommend that if you really do
need to use VACUUM FULL, you immediately follow it with VACUUM
ANALYZE.
