This parameter can only be set at server start, but the setting can be reduced for individual tables by changing storage parameters. --- 4150,4165 ---- Specifies the maximum age (in transactions) that a table's pg_class.relfrozenxid field can ! attain before a VACUUM freeze operation is forced ! to prevent transaction ID wraparound within the table. !
