-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Although with your very little load a manual or cron based vacuum full once a week will be more than enough. I'm doing a biweekly vacuum full with one of my customer's machines (an office application that uses pg as backend) and never had complaints or problems. That setup makes about 5000 transactions a day - still a very low load for postgres.
