This module adds a cronjob that vacuums or analyses postgres tables.

As postgres' autovacuum is not recommended for busy databases, it can be
a better choice to schedule this process manually.

.. IMPORTANT::
   This is an alpha version, the data model and design can change at any time without warning.
   Only for development or testing purpose, do not use in production.

Configuration
=============

To configure this module, you need to:

1. Go to Settings/Technical/Automation/Scheduled Actions
2. Select actions *Vacuum Postgresql Tables* and *Analyze Postgresql
   Tables*
3. Adapt the schedule to run at a time when your Odoo installation is
   least busy, take care that the analyze and vacuum cronjobs won't run
   simultaneously
4. Adapt the parameters to match your setting, but the defaults should
   be fine for most users
5. Note that the vacuum cronjob is inactive by default, because this is
   a potentially very heavy operation

Usage
=====

To use this module, you need to:

1. Go to Settings/Technical/Automation/Scheduled Actions
2. Select action *Vacuum Postgresql Tables*
3. Click the *Run Manually* button

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

- it would be nice if the cronjob could detect some odoo-specific
  measure of "busyness" and only run if it is below some threshold
- add some statistics in the model views about number of dead rows, last
  vacuum timestamp etc from
  https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-PG-STAT-ALL-TABLES-VIEW
