vacuum schema

Is there a way to vacuum all tables in a schema? Or will I need to
write a script to do it?

Are you looking for something different than vacuumdb?

I think so. As far as I can tell, you can either vacuum a whole db, or
individual tables. But not a whole schema.

Ah, yes. You're right.

Presumably you could use the hidden query from \dn in psql to get the
tables necessary for a script. That's the next best thing I can think
of.

I wrote a script to do the vacumming. I just have a config file where
you can list the tables you want vacuumed.

Can you use those tables via normal sql? It would be nice to do that via sql.

joining column's datatypes do not match

Sure. The system tables can be accessed via SQL.

I frequently use the output of psql's hidden queries to glean more
information about postgres internals for needs like yours where
postgres has the information but not the interface to accomplish a
specific task.

Hello, Is it normal for plain VACUUM on large table to degrade performance by over 9 times? My database becomes unusable when VACUUM runs. From reading newsgroups, I thought VACUUM should only slow down by 10% to 15%. Other MVCC databases like MySQL InnoDB can even VACUUM discretely (runs internally). Is it my Linux system or is it PostgreSQL? The database is mostly read-only. There are 133,000 rows and each row is about 2.5kB in size...

To all, The facts: PostgreSQL 7.4.0 running on BSD 5.1 on Dell 2650 with 4GB RAM, 5 SCSI drives in hardware RAID 0 configuration. Database size with indexes is currently 122GB. DB size before we completed the vacuum full was 150GB. We have recently done a major update to a table, f_pageviews, in our data warehouse. The f_pageviews table contains about 118 million rows.

Any comments on multi-versioning problem: As far as I understand from PG documentation, *CURRENTLY* VACUUM must be run regulary, otherwise: -Q. database will grow as fast as there are many DML going on it, won't it? -Q. transaction ID may wrap - no doubt here. -Q. Good news that VACUUM nowdays can run in parallel with other db activity

Hi, just a few questions on the Vaccum I run a vacuum analyze on the database every night as part of a maintenance job. During the day I have a job that loads 30-70,000 records into two tables (each 30-70k). This job runs 2-3 times a day; the first time mainly inserts, the 2nd, 3rd time mostly updates.

Postgresql 7.4.5 The following VACUUMs were run within a couple of minutes of each other completing. This table concerned is a table that has not been changed in a long time.
