sorry for the confusion - from what the docs - i am starting out the
single user like this.....
postgres --single -D /data/pg_devices postgres
*that connects me to the "postgres" database
postgres --single -D /data/pg_devices n001acs
*that connects me to the "n001acs" database.......
then I am issuing a vacuum command with each session..... Sound okay?
