Hello list,
I am trying to find out if the naming convention from autovacuum does what its 
command line equivalent does, or at least what I think it does.

QUERY: autovacuum: VACUUM ANALYZE table versus autovacuum: VACUUM ANALYZE table.

I have been getting my autovacuum tuned and I have the settings where I see 2 
types of queries running now and doing their jobs. I know vacuum alone will 
mark dead tuples ready for use again, and analyze alone will update statistics 
for the query planner.

1. QUERY: autovacuum: VACUUM ANALYZE table
2. QUERY: autovacuum: VACUUM table

My question is do we need both?  Why wouldn't QUERY: autovacuum: VACUUM ANALYZE 
table perform both, I always thought when issuing VACUUM ANALYZE table it would 
do both. Why wouldn't we just want vacuum analyze to run?
Or is QUERY: autovacuum: VACUUM ANALYZE table different from the command line 
and it only analyzes and QUERY: autovacuum: VACUUM table only vacuums which 
would make sense.


Thanks as always and hope this is clear.
