Thread: VACUUM ANALYZE

I see in all the docs to run VACUUM ANALYZE periodically.  My host told me that in Postgres 8.2 this is not needed as it is done automatically.

Is that true?  How can I see the results of the automatic vacuum analyze? Or configure them?

Yes, that is true if you have the autovacuum setting enabled for the database server. You can see the last auto vacuum and last auto analyze timestamp values from pg_stat_all_tables.
