Re: [GENERAL] Using psql on command line

you should look at the manual for psql.. thats what I just did.. looks
like it would be something like this..

psql -c vacuum <tablename> -d dbName

if you can't find the man file... try the postgres home page.
(www.postgresql.org) or look in pgsql/man/man1/ on your local system...
