Ok thanks, the information. I've made the mistake, I will change the script, but I will try, that Vidhya told me. Let me see, what will going on.

Just FYI, the reindex step is 100% useless if you're going to do a
vacuum full afterwards.

Before 9.0 there was some value in doing vacuum full and then reindex,
but none whatsoever in the other ordering.  As of 9.0 there's just no
point at all in doing both.  VACUUM FULL rebuilds the indexes anyway.
