Re: pg_autovacuum entries

Alvaro,
Why don't you just create a sql script with a separate vacuum command for each table you need to vacuum?

Does vacuumdb read pg_autovacuum ?

If not, can I specify multiple comma-separated tables to pass as
arguments to vacuumdb ? The list of tables that need to be vacuumed
is a constant and hence easier to manage the vacuuming process.
