Also, for future reference. If you have a lot of read-only tables (and
judging by the names of your tables it looks like you might), then
running VACUUM FREEZE on a table will put it in a state where you never
have to vacuum it again (until you do an insert/update).
Put another way, anything in a table at the point you run a VACUUM
FREZE over it is protected from wraparound. Over time all tables will
convert to this state, just an explicit freeze makes it quicker, for a
1.4TB data this might be important.
Have a nice day,
