Hello Fabrízio,
Thank you for your advice but I'm not asking for only a specific table and not looking for temporary solution. Previous post may not clear to much and I'd explain again.
So autovacuum process takes long time for that database. I don't know how can I estimate timing for a vacuum after insert millions of bulk data to a table. So there are many table inserting bulk data daily. This solution not for only a table. I'm looking a solution for a database. Data volume of this database is around 2GB so many transactions in a day.
This is only suggestion and I'm really curious because can not estimate what do you think about that, what if disable autovacuum and vacuum all tables in every month?
Regards,
Gunce

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?

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.

One option is:1) Disable autovacuum in target tables2) Run bulk load process3) Run VACUUM ANALYZE manually4) Enable autovacuum in target tables
