postgrses database problem

Guys,

I am new to Postgresql. We have a database on Linux box and users
complaining about queries running very slow. I tried to run vacuum this
moring but it doesn't seem to do anything. I logged on to database by
typing psql bhpbprod (bhpbprod is database name) and that gave me the
prompt bhpbprod=# . There i typed in vacuum analyze and i got the same
prompt again. so i assume it didn't work.

So could some one please help how to go about this problem. I really
appreciate all your positive replys. Thanks.

Regards,
