I think this is wrong.

VACUUM and ANALYZE are good, but normally happen automatically by autovacuum.

VACUUM FULL takes an exclusive lock on the table, and rewrites its data and
indices from scratch.  It's not normally necessary at all.  It's probably most
useful to recover from badly-bloated table if autovacuum didn't run often
enough, in which case the permanent solution is to change autovacuum settings
to be more aggressive.

Don't confuse with VACUUM FREEZE, which doesn't require exclusive lock, and
normally not necessary if autovacuum is working properly.
