autovacuum_vacuum_threshold

Description

Per-table value for autovacuum_vacuum_threshold parameter.

Applies to

Tables and materialized views

Value type

integer

Usage

WITH (autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = value)

Scope

This relation-level setting applies to the table or materialized view. Any corresponding global parameter has a separate entry.

Common table storage rules

The WITH clause can specify storage parameters for tables, and for indexes associated with a UNIQUE , PRIMARY KEY , or EXCLUDE constraint. Storage parameters for indexes are documented in CREATE INDEX . The storage parameters currently available for tables are listed below. For many of these parameters, as shown, there is an additional parameter with the same name prefixed with toast. , which controls the behavior of the table's secondary TOAST table, if any (see Section 66.2 for more information about TOAST). If a table parameter value is set and the equivalent toast. parameter is not, the TOAST table will use the table's parameter value. Specifying these parameters for partitioned tables is not supported, but you may specify them for individual leaf partitions.

Materialized views

This clause specifies optional storage parameters for the new materialized view; see Storage Parameters in the CREATE TABLE documentation for more information. All parameters supported for CREATE TABLE are also supported for CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW . See CREATE TABLE for more information.

Related global parameter: autovacuum_vacuum_threshold

The following same-version GUC definition explains its purpose and units. Global defaults and activation rules describe the GUC; the relation-option override rules remain those above.

Specifies the minimum number of updated or deleted tuples needed to trigger a VACUUM in any one table. The default is 50 tuples. This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line; but the setting can be overridden for individual tables by changing table storage parameters.
