Having a doubt, we want to vacuum and reindex some 50 most used tables daily on specific time. Is it best to have a function in postgres and call it in cron or is there any other good way to do the two process for specified tables at specified time?
If you haven't been using VACUUM properly, it's possible to get into a position where you need to REINDEX your tables and go through the sort of giant cleanup step you describe. If you think you need to do that daily, though, you probably should take a look at tuning autovacuum rather than trying to fix the problem manually all the time.
