Hi, I've some test data in a database and would like to delete that database and clean everything that is associated with that database. Then I'd like to populate the same database with different data. My plan is to: (1) Remove the /usr/local/pgsql/data directory (2) psql -e mydatabase -f /tmp/indumpfile.txt & > /tmp/outdumpfile.txt (/tmp/indumpfile.txt has all the sql statements to restore the database) (3) Restart the postgres server Not sure if I need to run the VACCUM command, because I know Postgres 8.3.8 has the auto-vacuum daemon on to perform VACCUMs when it's necessary. Did I miss any other steps for cleaning up? Please advise.
