Hi Guys. Please help me about this.

For postgres database, it looks like we need analyze and vacuum all the
tables periodly.  I need to write a script which can be executed in crontab.
I don't have any clues about that. I only know the command :
analyze tablename;
vacuum tablename;
Leave off the tablename to do the whole db. But (unless you are on a really old version of PG) you really shouldn't need to manually vacuum things as that is the job of the autovacuum process.

There are unusual situations that suggest a manual analyze. It should be run right after a cluster for instance. But they are limited special cases.

What indicates that you need to vacuum or analyze via cron?

Cheers,
Steve
