Here's a new patch set that should address the feedback in this
thread. The changes in this version include:
- 0001 is a small fix to the 'vacuumdb --disable-page-skipping'
documentation. My suggestion is to keep it short and simple like
--full, --freeze, --skip-locked, --verbose, and --analyze. The
DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING option is well-described in the VACUUM
documentation, and IMO it is reasonably obvious that such vacuumdb
options correspond to the VACUUM options.
- v3-0002 is essentially v2-0001 and v2-0004 combined. I've also
added a comment explaining the importance of fully qualifying the
catalog query used to discover tables to process.
- 0003 includes additional documentation changes explaining the main
uses of --min-xid-age and --min-mxid-age and linking to the
existing wraparound documentation.
As discussed, I've left out the patch for --min-relation-size for now.
