PostgreSQL VACUUM garbage-collect and optionally analyze a database.

VACUUM reclaims storage occupied by dead tuples.


Examples:

  • VACUUM (VERBOSE, ANALYZE) my_table;
  • VACUUM FULL my_table;
SELECT
  schemaname, relname,
  last_vacuum, last_autovacuum,
  vacuum_count, autovacuum_count
FROM pg_stat_user_tables;
select count(*) from pg_stat_activity where query like 'autovacuum:%';


PosgreSQL recommend that active production databases be vacuumed frequently (at least nightly), in order to remove dead rows. [1]

VACUUM causes a substantial increase in I/O traffic.
