Hello list,
I have a table that is constantly growing, and it's not being
vacuumed/analyzed. I think my problem is rather common, but how to even
debug it if "nothing works"?
I've already set log_autovacuum_min_duration = 0 but the table is never
mentioned in my logs, grep'ing for "vacuum".
I have run ANALYZE manually once but nothing automatic.
Here is more info:

How can I get more info from postgres on the autovacuum logic?
Thank you in advance,
