Thread: [PERFORM] How to vacuum entire database excluding some tables in PostgreSQL9.1.

Something like this in a bash script?

#!/bin/bash

echo "select schemaname, tablename from pg_tables where tablename not in (your list of excluded tables) and schemaname not in ('information_schema', 'pg_catalog')" | psql -t > /tmp/tablist

exec < /tmp/tablist
while read line
do
     set - $line
     echo "Vacuuming [$1] [$3]"
     echo "VACUUM VERBOSE ${1}.${3}" | psql

done

Dear Expert,

 

Could you please suggest me for the below query?

 

I want to vacuum the entire database with the exception of several

tables.

 

Because there are some tables which are very big in size, so I just want to exclude them.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,
