We have a pretty large table with many deleted rows. A normal VACUUM of
this table now takes over an hour. I'd like to run a full VACUUM to
recover the mostly wasted space, but I know it will take several hours.
Can I do a VACUUM FULL for a while, and interrupt it (CTRL-C at the psql
prompt) without undoing its progress?
