postgres 8.2 transaction id wraparound

From

I read the release notes for 8.2 which mentioned that transaction id wraparounds are now on a per-table basis versus database-wide. Currently for 8.1 I issue a vacuumdb –a command which takes a coule of days due to the size of the databse.

 

What is the equivalent command in 8.2 (assuming autovacuum is turned off)

 

Regards

vacuumdb -a will still work, though you might do better to let
autovacuum take care of things since it will only vacuum tables that
need to be vacuumed.
