<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>We are running PostgreSQL 9.1.6 with autovacuum = on and I am reporting on dead tuples using the pgstattuple extension. Each time I run the pgstattuple package our dead tuples counts decrease. My colleague is under the impression that dead tuples are only cleaned up via vacuum full only, while I suggested that the autovaccum process was cleaning up these dead tuples. Is this true?</div><div><br mce_bogus="1"></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></span></body></html>
