Thread: vacuumdb knowledge of prior vacuum
Does vacuumdb have knowledge of a VACUUM that was done on a table in the prior run and skip it the next time (assuming the table does not change) ? If not.is autovacuum smart enough to figure that out ?

And autovacuum will reset the XID counter even if it skips tables right? Just wanted to confirm before enabling autovacuum.
