Is it necessary to manually vacuum pg_largobject or is it handled by autovacuum?
    It is handled by autovacuum. What we do is, we schedule a manual VACUUM 
ANALYZE nightly job on bigger tables to avoid burden on the autovacuum during 
the business time.     In a system where large objects are constantly added 
(and *some* rarely deleted, so it grows every day), would I gain space (freed 
to the OS) by VACUUM FULL it?      The amount of reclaimed space will depend on 
the volume of deletions happening. If the DELETES are rare and are not deleting 
much, then frequent VACUUM FULL is not ideal.   In other words: Does vacuumlo 
cause diskspace used by pg_largeobject to be freed to the OS (after eventually 
vacuumed by autovacuum)?   Thanks.   -- Andreas Joseph Krogh CTO / Partner -
