Обсуждение: full vacuum cancelation
Hi,
my full vacuuming of one table runs still after four days. Is it safe to cancel it by pressing Ctrl+c?

I assume this is a pre-9.0 Postgres version?
Depending on how far along the vacuum actually is, there's a possibility
that trying to cancel it will cause a PANIC, but that will not damage
your data --- the worst consequence would be killing any other sessions
that are running concurrently.

Is it really running (as in progressing with its work) or is it blocking waiting for a lock? Check the pg_stat_activity view to see what it is doing. How big is this table?
