Hi all,
We have a database that is used for CRM. During day there are many process like bulk loading large amounts of data(not thousand like millions!). And all day we observe auto vacuum in server status. It takes long time. I'm curious what happens if we disable autovacuum for a database that process bulk insert? After insert data a table, what autovacuum will do for that table?
I've read some article like; "The autovacuum process takes care of several maintenance chores inside your database that you really need. Generally, if you think you need to turn regular vacuuming off because it's taking too much time or resources, that means you're doing it wrong. The answer to almost all vacuuming problems is to vacuum more often, not less, so that each individual vacuum operation has less to clean up.
However, it's acceptable to disable autovacuum for short periods of time, for instance when bulk loading large amounts of data."
