Hi,

The main point of autovacuum is maintenance tasks. Currently, it executes VACUUM and ANALYZE commands. I want to propose that we incorporate vacuumlo functionality into it. While dealing with large objects (LO), we have lo contrib module that helps with LO maintenance but has some limitations (does not handle DROP TABLE and TRUNCATE cases) and vacuumlo that does an excellent job but have to be executed outside DBMS. The proposal is to clean up LO when autovacuum triggers VACUUM; cleanup LO routine will starts after(?) VACUUM command.

In a near future I want to propose that orphaned LO be cleaned up by VACUUM but that a history for another thread...

Comments?
