Обсуждение: vacuum v. vacuumdb

Quick question,  when running a VACUUM query through the postmaster,
does it use the external vacuumdb tool?

Nope - the other way around.  The vacuumdb tool simply executes the
VACUUM command through postmaster.

No, quite the opposite; the 'vacuumdb' simply invokes the VACUUM command in
the postmaster. vacuumdb along with reindexdb, createdb, createuser etc. are
simply commandline conveniences for common administrative tasks :)
