Are you telling that you have multiple autovac on the same table?  If yes, that causes lock waits.

Hi Ravi, 

It was the application teams call to disable it fearing the alteration of execution plans and slowness as per their explanation. I have joined 2 days back and I have tried educating them for enabling the same but they said after enough testing and evidence collected it will be enabled back in future.. 

As of now, I have started the manual vacuum operation on the databases but in one of them I am facing this issue that my vacuum jobs for 3 tables are paused as there are 3 autovacuum jobs running since 5 days on the same tables to prevent wraparound. 

Could you please confirm whether I can stop these autovacuum jobs so that I can run my manual run of vaccum job. 

Thanks,

Hi Experts, 

I am running a PG10.4 in a RHEL 6.9. The tables stored in my database are mainly used for reads and very less writes happen. I have recently joined this environment and as soon as I logged into the postgresql servers, checked for dead tuples and relfrozenids.. And almost all have reached the autovacuum_freeze_max_age of 2billion and autovacuum was disabled.. Last vacuum was run 3 months back. 

Today I got permission to vacuum the tables but for 3 tables, Postgresql has already started the vacuum freeze using the autovacuum daemon running to prevent wraparound and these tables have TB'S of data.

Experts, please confirm whether I can kill these sessions and run a manual vacuum job with parallel jobs. 

Thanks in advance. 

Regards,
