Обсуждение: database vacuum

Dear List,

I am using postgresql 7.2.1. I would like to know
whether we should vacuum the template1 and template0
database as well, in addition to the normal database
we created.

Your reply is very much appreciated.

Regards
Lau NH

template0 no --- in fact you wouldn't even be able to connect to it to
do so (and I do not recommend overriding the check that prevents that).

template1 yes.  You could skip this if you know that template1 has never
been modified since it was frozen ... but why assume that?

The vacuumdb script gets this right btw.
