A "lazy vacuum" can hurt If you have lots of i/o. If we try to run it during the day it kills us. This is because to vacuum all the tables postgres has to read them from the disk. While it doesn't not lock rows it does block other rows from reading/writing to/from the disk. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org] On Behalf Of Robert Treat Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 2:58 PM To: Francisco Reyes Cc: neilc@samurai.com; pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Size for vacuum_mem On Thu, 2002-12-05 at 12:57, Francisco Reyes wrote: > > For these, you can try just using a plain VACUUM and seeing how > > effective that is at reclaiming space. > > I am not too concerned with space reclamation.

If there is a performance hit, you can gain some offset by quicker queries (if you do vacuum analyze). And remember, lazy vacuums are non-blocking so users won't see an impact from that standpoint. The trick is to find a good interval that will keep your tables from growing too big. I have one table that updates every 10 minutes (the whole content of the table gets updated within 15 minutes), which keeps the size very manageable (it's not a huge table, or I would do it more). In this scenario, you can still do vacuum fulls if you feel the need, but they should take much less time.
