Thank you Ron but this table has no date column.

It has one line for each page of each scanned document.

Another suggestion is to partition the table by a chronological key, so that only a fraction of the table needs to be vacuumed.

Thank you, David.
So can i assume that autovacuum only release dead tuples when it ends its execution?

Autovacuum is not finishing and is running for days.
We did not find a parameter to limit autovacuum executing time.
Do you have any recomendation?

Thank you.
Sidney.

Hi, we have a 9.6.5 postgres
 
Autovacuum is set with default parameters and is running on this table for days without naping or stopping.

(1 rows)


Its probably best avoid drawing conclusions here until the anti-wraparound vacuum has completed and you’ve updated to the latest minor version of PostgreSQL.
