-## VACUUM Fundamentals
-
-### Why VACUUM is Critical
-
-PostgreSQL uses MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control):
-- Updates/deletes don't remove old rows immediately
-- Old rows marked as "dead tuples"
-- VACUUM reclaims space from dead tuples
-- Without VACUUM: table bloat, degraded performance, transaction ID wraparound
-
-### VACUUM Variants
-
-```sql
--- Standard VACUUM (non-blocking, reclaims space for reuse)
-VACUUM users;
-VACUUM;  -- All tables
-
--- VACUUM FULL (locks table, rewrites entire table, reclaims disk space)
-VACUUM FULL users;
--- Use pg_repack instead for production (non-blocking alternative)
-
--- VACUUM VERBOSE (shows details)
-VACUUM VERBOSE users;
-
--- VACUUM ANALYZE (vacuum + update statistics)
-VACUUM ANALYZE users;
-```
-
-### VACUUM Monitoring
-
-```sql
--- Check when tables were last vacuumed
-SELECT
-  schemaname,
-  relname,
-  last_vacuum,
-  last_autovacuum,
-  n_dead_tup,
-  n_live_tup,
-  round(100.0 * n_dead_tup / NULLIF(n_live_tup + n_dead_tup, 0), 2) as dead_pct
-FROM pg_stat_user_tables
-ORDER BY n_dead_tup DESC;
-
--- Check vacuum progress (PG 9.6+)
-SELECT
-  pid,
-  datname,
-  relid::regclass,
-  phase,
-  heap_blks_total,
-  heap_blks_scanned,
-  heap_blks_vacuumed,
-  round(100.0 * heap_blks_scanned / NULLIF(heap_blks_total, 0), 2) as pct_complete
-FROM pg_stat_progress_vacuum;
-```
-
-## Autovacuum Configuration
-
-```sql
--- Global settings (postgresql.conf)
-autovacuum = on
-autovacuum_max_workers = 3
-autovacuum_naptime = 60s  -- Check interval
-
--- Vacuum thresholds
-autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 50
-autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.2
--- Triggers when: dead_tuples > threshold + (scale_factor * total_tuples)
--- Default: 50 + (0.2 * 1000000) = 200,050 dead tuples for 1M row table
-
--- Analyze thresholds
-autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 50
-autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor = 0.1
-
--- Performance settings
-autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay = 2ms  -- Lower = faster, more I/O impact
-autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit = 200
-```
-
-### Per-Table Autovacuum Tuning
-
-```sql
--- High-churn table: vacuum more aggressively
-ALTER TABLE orders SET (
-  autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.05,  -- 5% instead of 20%
-  autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 1000,
-  autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor = 0.02
-);
-
--- Large, stable table: vacuum less often
-ALTER TABLE archive_logs SET (
-  autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.5,
-  autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 5000
-);
-
--- Very high-churn table: disable cost delays
-ALTER TABLE sessions SET (
-  autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay = 0
-);
-
--- View table settings
-SELECT
-  relname,
-  reloptions
-FROM pg_class
-WHERE relname = 'orders';
-```
-
-## ANALYZE (Statistics)
-
-```sql
--- Update statistics for query planner
-ANALYZE users;
-ANALYZE;  -- All tables
-
--- Check statistics freshness
-SELECT
-  schemaname,
-  relname,
-  last_analyze,
-  last_autoanalyze,
-  n_mod_since_analyze
-FROM pg_stat_user_tables
-ORDER BY n_mod_since_analyze DESC;
-
--- Increase statistics target for high-cardinality columns
-ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN email SET STATISTICS 1000;
--- Default is 100, range is 0-10000
--- Higher = better estimates, slower ANALYZE
-
--- View column statistics
-SELECT
-  tablename,
-  attname,
-  n_distinct,      -- Estimated unique values
-  correlation,     -- Physical vs logical ordering (-1 to 1)
-  null_frac        -- Percentage of nulls
-FROM pg_stats
-WHERE tablename = 'users';
-```
-
-## Bloat Detection and Removal
-
-### Detect Table Bloat
-
-```sql
--- Approximate bloat calculation
-SELECT
-  schemaname,
-  tablename,
-  pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename)) as total_size,
-  pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename)) as table_size,
-  round(100 * pg_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename)::numeric /
-        NULLIF(pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename), 0), 2) as table_pct,
-  n_dead_tup,
-  round(100.0 * n_dead_tup / NULLIF(n_live_tup + n_dead_tup, 0), 2) as dead_pct
-FROM pg_stat_user_tables
-WHERE pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) > 10485760  -- > 10MB
-ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) DESC;
-```
-
-### Detect Index Bloat
-
-```sql
--- Unused indexes
-SELECT
-  schemaname,
-  tablename,
-  indexname,
-  idx_scan,
-  pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(indexrelid)) as index_size
-FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
-WHERE idx_scan = 0
-  AND indexrelname NOT LIKE '%pkey'
-ORDER BY pg_relation_size(indexrelid) DESC;
-
--- Index size vs table size
-SELECT
-  schemaname,
-  tablename,
-  pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename)) as table_size,
-  pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) -
-                 pg_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename)) as indexes_size,
-  round(100.0 * (pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) -
-                 pg_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename))::numeric /
-        NULLIF(pg_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename), 0), 2) as index_ratio_pct
-FROM pg_stat_user_tables
-WHERE pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) > 10485760
-ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) DESC;
-```
-
-### Remove Bloat
-
-```sql
--- Option 1: VACUUM FULL (locks table)
-VACUUM FULL users;
-
--- Option 2: pg_repack (online, no locks)
--- Command line: pg_repack -d mydb -t users
-
--- Option 3: REINDEX (for index bloat)
-REINDEX TABLE users;
-REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_email;  -- Non-blocking (PG 12+)
-
--- Option 4: CLUSTER (rewrite table in index order, locks table)
-CLUSTER users USING users_pkey;
-```
