Hi all, We partition the data in postgres in a per-month basis and run a script to delete old partitions. Sometimes this script fails and the delete doesn't happen because of a deadlock, today I noticed that it was the autovacuumer that fighting with the script. Is it possible to stop the autovacuumer temporarily (and cancel any on going autovacuum) so that my script can remove the table that the autovacuumer wants to vacuum? I'm on 9.1.4 if it matter.
