We recommend that active production databases be cleaned nightly, in order to keep statistics relatively current. The VACUUM query may be executed at any time, however. In particular, after copying a large class into Postgres or after deleting a large number of records, it may be a good idea to issue a 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.
-If the server crashes during a VACUUM command, chances are it will leave a lock file hanging around. Attempts to re-run the VACUUM command result in an error message about the creation of a lock file. If you are sure VACUUM is not running, remove the pg_vlock file in your database directory (i.e. PGDATA/base/dbname/pg_vlock).
