Are you looking for something different than vacuumdb?

I think so. As far as I can tell, you can either vacuum a whole db, or
individual tables. But not a whole schema.

Ah, yes. You're right.

Presumably you could use the hidden query from \dn in psql to get the
tables necessary for a script. That's the next best thing I can think
of.

I wrote a script to do the vacumming. I just have a config file where
you can list the tables you want vacuumed.

Can you use those tables via normal sql? It would be nice to do that via sql.

Sure. The system tables can be accessed via SQL.

I frequently use the output of psql's hidden queries to glean more
information about postgres internals for needs like yours where
postgres has the information but not the interface to accomplish a
specific task.
