Hi All,
In my application we are using postgres which runs on an
embedded box. I have configured autovacuum to run once for every one
hour. It has 5 different databases in it. When I saw the log messages,
I found that it is running autovacuum on one database every hour. As a
result, on my database autovacuum is run once in 5 hours. Is that an
expected behavior, Is there any way to make it run it every hour.

Thank you,
Venu

Increase autovacuum workers. More the workers, the job will be done
parallely. Anybody with more knowledge is requested to correct me if
I'm wrong.
