-.TH VACUUM SQL 11/05/95 Postgres95 Postgres95
-.SH NAME
-vacuum \(em vacuum a database
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-\fBvacuum [table]\fP
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR Vacuum
-is the Postgres vacuum cleaner.  It opens every class in the database,
-moves deleted records to the archive for archived relations, cleans
-out records from aborted transactions, and updates statistics in the
-system catalogs.  The statistics maintained include the number of
-tuples and number of pages stored in all classes.  Running
-.BR vacuum
-periodically will increase Postgres's speed in processing user queries.
-.PP
-The open database is the one that is vacuumed.  
-.PP
-We recommend that production databases be vacuumed nightly, in order
-to keep statistics relatively current.  The
-.BR vacuum
-query may be executed at any time, however.  In particular, after
-copying a large class into Postgres or deleting a large number of
-records, it may be a good idea to issue a
-.BR vacuum
-query.  This will update the system catalogs with the results of all
-recent changes, and allow the Postgres query optimizer to make better
-choices in planning user queries.
-.PP
-The purge(l) command can be used to control the archive retention
-characteristics of a given table.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
