Bruce Momjian 6479ee28c0 Fix typo on autovacuum readme. 2003-11-09 03:15:46 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 62fdc3dd60 I have run pg_autovacuum on AIX, so that can, at least loosely, be
considered "tested."

And I have turned all of the 7.4 HISTORY material into DocBook for
release.sgml

Bruce Momjian 7ceadb8fab Change some awkward wording in the pg_autovacuum README file. I really
only read this because of Niel :-)

I had to make a further change to this to take quotes off the 'last
ANALYZE' in order for it to not overquote the relation name, so
there's a _little_ work left to get it to play well.

I have deployed it onto several boxes that should be doing some
vacuuming over the weekend, and it is now certainly hitting pg_
tables.

I would like to present a CVS-oriented patch; unfortunately, I had to
change the indentation patterns when editing some of it :-(.  The
following _may_ be good; not sure...

Yeah, this is basically what I meant, sorry I didn't get to it quicker.

However, I tested it out a little and the patch you made doesn't work
because it produces commands like:

VACUUM ANALYZE "public.FooBar"

Which doesn't work, so I made my own patch that creates commands like:

VACUUM ANALYZE "public"."FooBar"

This allows for mixed case schema names as well as tables.

Adam, can you please give this a test as you are the person who caught
the bug in the first place.

Thanks,

Bruce Momjian a72fce035d Add quotes to vacuum/analyze for upper/lowercase table names, per
Matthew T. O'Connor.

Tom Lane 33ab177a56 Don't assume that struct option is available just because we can find a
getopt_long().  This is more or less the same problem as we saw earlier
with getaddrinfo() and struct addrinfo, and for the same reason: random
user-added libraries might contain the subroutine, but there's no
guarantee we will find the matching header files.

Bruce Momjian 9243664dd4 This patch updates pg_autovacuum in several ways:
* A few bug fixes
* fixes solaris compile and crash issue
* decouple vacuum analyze and analyze thresholds
* detach from tty (dameonize)
* improved logging layout
* more conservative default configuration
* improved, expanded and updated README

please apply and 1st convenience, or before code freeze which ever comes
first :-)

At this point I think I have brought pg_autovacuum and its client side
design as far as I think it should go.  It works, keeping file sizes in
check, helps performance and give the administrator a fair amount
flexibility in configuring it.

Next up is to do the FSM based design that is integrated into the back
end.

p.s. Thanks to Christopher Browne for his help.

Bruce Momjian cb1672e9f8 Rename README in autovacuum code to match Makefile. 2003-03-23 20:16:06 +00:00
Bruce Momjian bd18c50ba8 I have updated my pg_autovacuum program (formerly pg_avd, the name
changed as per discussion on the patches list).

This version should be a good bit better.  It addresses all the issues
pointed out by Neil Conway. Vacuum and Analyze are now handled
separately.  It now monitors for xid wraparound.  The number of database
connections and queries has been significantly reduced compared the
previous version.  I have moved it from bin to contrib.  More detail on
the changes are in the TODO file.

I have not tested the xid wraparound code as I have to let my AthlonXP
1600 run select 1 in a tight loop for approx. two days in order to
perform the required 500,000,000 xacts.
