I think if this would be recommended it would have been implemented as an autotask like autovacuum. No? It is recommended to run it regularly if - you are using large objects - you don't have a trigger in place that deletes large objects that you don't need any more Only a small minority of people do that, so it wouldn't make sense to automatically run that on all databases. Avoid large objects if you can. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
