Is SCAN_ALL really the best we can do here? The business of having an
underscore in an option name has no precedent (other than
CURRENT_DATABASE and the like).
ALTER DATABASE has options for ALLOW_CONNECTIONS, CONNECTION_LIMIT, and
IS_TEMPLATE.
How about COMPLETE, TOTAL, or WHOLE?
Sure, I'll play this game. I like EXHAUSTIVE.
I prefer 'WHOLE', as it seems more obvious (and not because of the pun
relating to 'wholesomeness'!!!)
I think that users might believe that they need VACUUM (WHOLE) a lot
more often than they will actually need this option. "Of course I
want to vacuum my whole table!"
I think we should give this a name that hints more strongly at this
being an exceptional thing, like vacuum (even_frozen_pages).
How about just FROZEN? Perhaps it's too confusing to have that and
FREEZE, but I thought I would throw it out there.
