Ummm...they're SQL commands. Run them in PostgreSQL, not on the unix
command line...

You can use the vacuumdb external command. Here's an example:

vacuumdb --full --analyze --table mytablename mydbname

Or you could just run the 'vacuumdb' utility...

Put something like this in cron:

# Vacuum full local pgsql database
30 * * * * postgres vacuumdb -a -q -z

You really should read the manual.

I usually write a small shell script something like:

==================================================
#!/bin/sh

psql somedatabase <<EOQ
VACUUM this;
VACUUM that;
DELETE FROM someotherplace WHERE delete_this_record;
EOQ
==================================================

and so forth...

This makes the SQL quite nicely readable.

You work very hard. Don't try to think as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I try to run this command in my linux server.
VACUUM FULL pg_class;
VACUUM FULL pg_attribute;
VACUUM FULL pg_depend;

But it give me the following error:
-bash: VACUUM: command not found

I see.

But How Can I put this in the Cron of my Linux Server?
I really don't have an idea :)
What I want to do is to loop around all the databases in my server and
execute the vacuum of these 3 tables in each tables.
