I have a very frequently rebooted system (salesguys' laptops), with
a fairly high insert/delete activity (few hundred thousand rows
during a demo).
Anything I should keep in mind in setting up vacuum scripts for
such a system? For example...
... does it matter if I vacuum at startup or at shutdown? I
seem to remember an earlier version wanted me to vacuum
at startup; but don't know if this is still true?
... would the autovacuum stuff with a nice vacuum_delay
setting work well in this case?
anything else I should watch for?
