|
While this utility is useful for ad-hoc maintenance purposes, you are encouraged
|
|
to perform automatic VACUUM jobs on a regular schedule.
|
|
|
|
Select a button next to *Maintenance operation* to specify the type of
|
|
maintenance:
|
|
|
|
* Click *VACUUM* to scan the selected database or table to reclaim storage used
|
|
by dead tuples.
|
|
|
|
* Move the *FULL* switch to the *Yes* position to compact tables by writing
|
|
a completely new version of the table file without dead space. The default
|
|
is *No*.
|
|
|
|
* Move the *FREEZE* switch to the *Yes* position to freeze data in a table
|
|
when it will have no further updates. The default is *No*.
|
|
|
|
* Move the *ANALYZE* switch to the *Yes* position to issue ANALYZE commands
|
|
whenever the content of a table has changed sufficiently. The default is
|
|
*No*.
|
|
|
|
* Click *ANALYZE* to update the stored statistics used by the query planner.
|
|
This enables the query optimizer to select the fastest query plan for optimal
|
|
performance.
|
|
* Click *REINDEX* to rebuild any index in case it has degenerated due to the
|
|
insertion of unusual data patterns. This happens, for example, if you insert
|
|
rows with increasing index values, and delete low index values.
|
|
* Click *CLUSTER* to instruct PostgreSQL to cluster the selected table.
|
|
|
|
To exclude status messages from the process output, move the *Verbose Messages*
|
|
switch to the *No* position; by default, status messages are included.
|
|
|
|
When you've completed the dialog, click *OK* to start the background process;
|
|
to exit the dialog without performing maintenance operations, click *Cancel*.
|
|
|
|
pgAdmin will run the maintenance process in background. You can view all the background
|
|
process with there running status and logs on the :ref:`Processes <processes>`
|
|
tab |
