Question about running "Vacuum" through JDBC

Greetings,

I tried to "Vacuum table" through JDBC. I got the following errors:

ERROR: VACUUM cannot run inside a transaction block

Does it mean I should only run vacuum through the command line such as
"psql> vacuum TableName "?

Nope, it means exactly what the error says. You are trying to run vacum
inside a transaction, which can't be done. JDBC is likely opening a
transaction for you automatically. Stop it from doing this, and you
should be able to vacuum.

You don't say what version of the DB and JDBC driver you're using but I
have an app which does vavuums via JDBC no problem. Just make sure that
you've setAutoCommit(true).
