Re: Execute VACUUM FULL when DB touches a specific size ?

directorieswhose names are numbers. 

Use pg_database_size function to get the size of DB.

You can create a plpgsql function, which you can schedule using pgagent

Or

If you are writing Bash script capture the return value of pg_database_size function, in some variable and perform
vacuum.
