Hi,

I'm looking at my log file (see my log file below) and it seems like the autovacuum daemon is turned on by default in Postgres 8.3.8. Does that mean that I no longer need to manually invoke the autovacuum command anymore? I used to do it manually in an older version of Postgres.

tail postgresql-2010-06-02_000000.log
DEBUG: autovacuum: processing database "template1"
DEBUG: server process (PID 31719) exited with exit code 0
DEBUG: autovacuum: processing database "marydatabase"
DEBUG: server process (PID 31729) exited with exit code 0
DEBUG: autovacuum: processing database "postgres"
DEBUG: server process (PID 31739) exited with exit code 0
DEBUG: autovacuum: processing database "template1"
DEBUG: server process (PID 31741) exited with exit code 0
DEBUG: autovacuum: processing database "marydatabase"
DEBUG: server process (PID 31753) exited with exit code 0

Thanks
Mary
