need an advice on running Database

Once per day dump database to disk.
Once per day do a vacuum full.
That should be plenty.

Since there are 1440 minutes per day, you are only looking at 288
transactions per day. Not exactly a taxing transaction load.

Hi,
I have a small data base ~ 10 tables. each table get
insert/update/delete few times a day. postgresql is running for a
month.

The load will increase in the near future: insert/update/delete
activity will be at least one in 5 minutes.

What maintenance should I need to do?

Thanks,
Mark.

You should make sure PostgreSQL is properly tuned for your
hardware and you should run vacuum, say, daily or so.

Do you not recommend autovacuum?

Yes, autovacuum is better.

Although with your very little load a manual or cron based vacuum full once a
week will be more than enough.
I'm doing a biweekly vacuum full with one of my customer's machines (an
office application that uses pg as backend) and never had complaints or
problems. That setup makes about 5000 transactions a day - still a very low
load for postgres.
