I modeled this after the vacuumdb script that is distributed in the
postgresql-base distribution. It can reindex a whole database, specific
tables, or just a single index. Being as we've had so much trouble with
things growing out of control, and the group seems to have tracked it
down to indexes, here it is.
I don't understand why we have a vacuumdb script, but not a reindex
script, considering the fact that vacuum doesn't clean up indexes.
Anyway, I didn't bother to comment it, I just copied vacuumdb and
changed relevant parts. It's not pretty, but it works. Maybe later
I'll produce one that doesn't look like it was coughed up by a robot.
