I could not easily find answers to these simple questions.
a) Does VACUUMing ( with ANALYSE ) in effect perform a file consistency
check on the database structure as a side effect?
b) Is it ok to VACUUM while the database is alive and active?
c) Can I backup via pg_dump while the database is alive and active and
have the backup consistent to the state the database was in when the
backup started?
I'm 99.99% sure the answers are yes for all of these but I'd very much
like to have it confirmed by somebody who _really knows_.
