Re: Vacuum DB in Postgres Vs similar concept in other RDBMS

In SQL*Server it is called "UPDATE STATISTICS"

Oracle tuning is a lot more fiddly:

RDBMS

Hi,

I was wondering if Vacuum DB concept in Postgres is really novel and
there's no concept like this in other RDBMS like oracle or sql server.
If at all other RDBMS have such a concept implemented, how good or bad
it is as compared to postgres's vacuum db concept.

Any type of pointers would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
~Harpreet
