Those are the docs for the current version (v15). vacuumdb is a client, which can run against older (or newer) servers. The --force-index-cleanup option was added in v14, and can be used against servers back to v12. But the command-line option to the vacuumdb client doesn't exist before v14 (even though the server-side supports it). > Also we notice that vacuum is happening at regular intervals but the > space occupied by indexes is always increasing. > > I don't know. But this busy mailing list is for development; these questions would be better addressed to pgsql-user. -- Justin
