Hi, I am trying to schedule pg_cron to generate a set of commands and then run them. E.g select 'vacuum freeze '||table_name from inventory_for_vacuum \gexec . This works well at command line, but when scheduled in pg_cron, it fails with syntax error ERROR: syntax error at or near "\" .
Right, because you don't get to use psql meta-commands if you are not using psql.
Since vacuum doesn't work inside a transaction block ERROR: VACUUM cannot run inside a transaction block, I cannot use a function directly to run over a loop. Any guidance to make it work or an alternative?
Have a pg_cron job that dynamically creates other pg_cron jobs that only run once?
