Hello,

I have a technical question about VACUUM

I assume all table data is kept in a single file
and each index has its single file also.

Also I assume that VACUUM cleans the file of 'dead pages' that consist
of dead rows only.

How does it manage to reduce file size without any locks ?
Or which locks are applied ?
