There is no effective difference between vacuuming and analyzing databases via this utility and via other methods for accessing the server\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP vacuumdb accepts the following command\-line arguments: .PP \fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-all\fR .RS 4 Vacuum all databases\&. .RE .PP \fB[\-d]\fR\fB \fR\fB\fIdbname\fR\fR, \fB[\-\-dbname=]\fR\fB\fIdbname\fR\fR .RS 4 Specifies the name of the database to be cleaned or analyzed\&. If this is not specified and \fB\-a\fR (or \fB\-\-all\fR) is not used, the database name is read from the environment variable \fBPGDATABASE\fR\&. If that is not set, the user name specified for the connection is used\&. .RE .PP \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-echo\fR .RS 4 Echo the commands that vacuumdb generates and sends to the server\&. .RE .PP \fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-full\fR .RS 4 Perform \(lqfull\(rq vacuuming\&. .RE .PP \fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-freeze\fR .RS 4 Aggressively \(lqfreeze\(rq tuples\&. .RE .PP \fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR .RS 4 Do not display progress messages\&. .RE .PP \fB\-t \fR\fB\fItable\fR\fR\fB [ (\fR\fB\fIcolumn\fR\fR\fB [,\&.\&.\&.]) ]\fR, \fB\-\-table=\fR\fB\fItable\fR\fR\fB [ (\fR\fB\fIcolumn\fR\fR\fB [,\&.\&.\&.]) ]\fR .RS 4 Clean or analyze \fItable\fR only\&. Column names can be specified only in conjunction with the \fB\-\-analyze\fR or \fB\-\-analyze\-only\fR options\&. .if n \{\ .sp .\} .RS 4 .it 1 an-trap .nr an-no-space-flag 1 .nr an-break-flag 1 .br .ps +1 \fBTip\fR .ps -1 .br If you specify columns, you probably have to escape the parentheses from the shell\&. (See examples below\&.) .sp .5v .RE .RE .PP \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR .RS 4 Print detailed information during processing\&. .RE .PP \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR .RS 4 Print the vacuumdb version and exit\&. .RE .PP \fB\-z\fR, \fB\-\-analyze\fR .RS 4 Also calculate statistics for use by the optimizer\&. .RE .PP \fB\-Z\fR, \fB\-\-analyze\-only\fR .RS 4 Only calculate statistics for use by the optimizer (no vacuum)\&. .RE .PP \fB\-?\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR .RS 4 Show help about vacuumdb command line arguments, and exit\&. .RE .PP vacuumdb also accepts the following command\-line arguments for connection parameters: .PP \fB\-h \fR\fB\fIhost\fR\fR, \fB\-\-host=\fR\fB\fIhost\fR\fR .RS 4 Specifies the host name of the machine on which the server is running\&. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the directory for the Unix domain socket\&. .RE .PP \fB\-p \fR\fB\fIport\fR\fR, \fB\-\-port=\fR\fB\fIport\fR\fR .RS 4 Specifies the TCP port or local Unix domain socket file extension on which the server is listening for connections\&. .RE .PP \fB\-U \fR\fB\fIusername\fR\fR, \fB\-\-username=\fR\fB\fIusername\fR\fR .RS 4 User name to connect as\&. .RE .PP \fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-no\-password\fR .RS 4 Never issue a password prompt\&. If the server requires password authentication and a password is not available by other means such as a \&.pgpass file, the connection attempt will fail\&. This option can be useful in batch jobs and scripts where no user is present to enter a password\&. .RE .PP \fB\-W\fR, \fB\-\-password\fR .RS 4 Force vacuumdb to prompt for a password before connecting to a database\&. .sp This option is never essential, since vacuumdb will automatically prompt for a password if the server demands password authentication\&. However, vacuumdb will waste a connection attempt finding out that the server wants a password\&. In some cases it is worth typing \fB\-W\fR to avoid the extra connection attempt\&. .RE .PP \fB\-\-maintenance\-db=\fR\fB\fIdbname\fR\fR .RS 4 Specifies the name of the database to connect to discover what other databases should be vacuumed\&. If not specified, the postgres database will be used, and if that does not exist, template1 will be used\&. .RE .SH "ENVIRONMENT" .PP \fBPGDATABASE\fR, \fBPGHOST\fR, \fBPGPORT\fR, \fBPGUSER\fR .RS 4 Default connection parameters .RE .PP This utility, like most other PostgreSQL utilities, also uses the environment variables supported by libpq (see Section 31.14, \(lqEnvironment Variables\(rq, in the documentation)\&. .SH "DIAGNOSTICS" .PP In case of difficulty, see \fBVACUUM\fR(7) and \fBpsql\fR(1) for discussions of potential problems and error messages\&. The database server must be running at the targeted host\&. Also, any default connection settings and environment variables used by the libpq front\-end library will apply\&. .SH "NOTES" .PP vacuumdb might need to connect several times to the PostgreSQL server, asking for a password each time\&. It is convenient to have a ~/\&.pgpass file in such cases\&. See Section 31.15, \(lqThe Password File\(rq, in the documentation for more information\&. .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP To clean the database test: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf $ \fBvacuumdb test\fR .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP To clean and analyze for the optimizer a database named bigdb: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf $ \fBvacuumdb \-\-analyze bigdb\fR .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP To clean a single table foo in a database named xyzzy, and analyze a single column bar of the table for the optimizer: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf $ \fBvacuumdb \-\-analyze \-\-verbose \-\-table \*(Aqfoo(bar)\*(Aq xyzzy\fR .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .SH "SEE ALSO" \fBVACUUM\fR(7)
