Hmm. VACUUM FULL is supposed to do that only i guess.
since version 7.2 ordinary VACUUM does not locks the table.
and VACUUM can be performed on a live system.
VACUUM FULL does the disk space reclaimation and is supposed to lock
table to prevent updates.
i guess you can do a VACUUM ANALYZE on the table instead.
