What is "nls sort"? What do you expect --enable-nls to do? It looks like 
 it's for multi-language message display rather than sorting.


The locale options are already built-in.

You don't need vacuum full.
Released tuples will fill up again with fresh data next day - after regular 
vacuum.


Yes, a regular manual vacuum will prevent the table from growing more than 
it needs to. However, a vacuum full is required to actually reduce the 
size of the table from 7.5G to 2.7G if that hasn't been done on the 
production system already.
