I think actually it makes plenty of sense to enhance pg_autovacuum while it's still contrib stuff. My guess is it'll be much less painful to whack it around in minor or major ways while it's standalone code. Once it's integrated in the backend, making significant changes will be harder and more ticklish. So, now is precisely the time to be experimenting to find out what works well and what features are needed. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
