Hi all, I've just upgraded to 8.3 and am looking at using autovacuum. We have a long running application with high update frequency that periodically issues vacuum commands itself. I'd like to be able to add code to the app like: if pg.autovacuum == "on": self.routine_vacuuming = False else: self.routine_vacuuming = True so that we can avoid manually issuing vacuum commands at sites where Postgresql is running autovacuum. But so far I haven't been able to find a way for a non-privileged user to query the autovacuum status, is this possible? Also, the routine-vacuuming section of the manual states that the purpose of the autovacuum daemon is to periodically issue VACUUM and ANALYZE commands - am I correct in thinking this implies that it will not issue VACUUM FULL commands?
