In response to excluding tables from VACUUM ANALYZE  ("Igor Neyman" <ineyman@perceptron.com>)
List pgsql-general
I generally write bash one liners for this kind of thing:

for table in $(psql -U postgres --tuples-only -c "SELECT schemaname || '.' || tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename NOT IN ('table1', 'table2')") ; do psql -U postgres -c "VACUUM ANALYZE $table"; done

This is nice because you can bring all kinds of awk/sed/grep to bear on your problems.

This question didn't get any "traction on "admin" list, so I'll try here: 

I want to analyze the entire database with the exception of several tables. 
When I run "VACUUM ANALYZE" (or "vacuumdb -z") on the database, how can I exclude specific tables from being analyzed?
Is there any place in system dictionary, where the table could be marked , so it's not processed (skipped) by "vacuum analyze"?
