At present its taking 8Hrs if i run sequential ( vacuum full verbose;) Run several scripts in parallel, where each of them vacuums some bloated tables. Be warned that VACUUM (FULL) is quite I/O intense, so too much parallelism might overload your I/O system and harm performance. > 2. If we run vacuum full, Do we need to run REINDEX/ANALYZE exclusively ? You don't need to run REINDEX, because that happens automatically. You can use VACUUM (FULL, ANALYZE) to also gather statistics. > 3. What is the best way to run VACUUM FULL with less window. Identify which tables really need it rather than VACUUMing everything.
