Re: autovacuum recommendations for Large tables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Could you help me by explaining in simple words, as I am new to postgres.

What value of which parameter should I set and why.

I only have this one big table in the database of size 3113 GB with rows 7661353111.

Right Now the autovacuum setting for that table is set to
{autovacuum_enabled=true,autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.2,autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor=0.2}

Please help.






Regards
Atul

Hi Atul,

I would start with a factor of 0.00001 (10 parts per million) and explore down to 0.000001.

I did some massive updates on a partition with 12 millions rows and my factor was 0.001.

Depending on the number of big tables you have in the database, you may wish to reduce the number of parallel workers.

Hope it helps

So Please suggest, how much should i set atleast, to avoid increasing
in dead tuple.
