We recommend that active production databases be cleaned nightly, in order
to keep statistics relatively current. The <command>VACUUM</command>
query may be executed at any time, however. In particular, after
copying a large class into <productname>Postgres</productname>
or after deleting a large number of
records, it may be a good idea to issue a <command>VACUUM ANALYZE</command>
query. This will update the system catalogs with the results of all
recent changes, and allow the <productname>Postgres</productname>
query optimizer to make better choices in planning user queries.
