VACUUM、autovacuum 与表膨胀

PostgreSQL 的 MVCC 在更新和删除后会留下失效的行版本;VACUUM 回收这些版本,维护统计信息,并防止事务 ID 回卷。应保持 autovacuum 启用,并针对繁忙表进行调优。
概念
在多版本并发控制机制下,更新会写入新的行版本;当旧版本不再对任何事务可见时,它会被标记为失效。VACUUM 回收失效版本所占空间以供重用,更新可见性映射,并冻结旧事务 ID 以防止回卷;ANALYZE 则刷新规划器统计信息。autovacuum 守护进程根据每张表的阈值运行这两种操作。
为什么重要
如果不进行清理,表和索引就会膨胀,顺序扫描会变慢,统计信息会过时,执行计划也会恶化。在极端情况下,服务器会拒绝写入,以防止事务 ID 回卷。
如何应用
- 保持 autovacuum 启用,绝不要把关闭它当作“性能优化”。
- 对大型、频繁更新的表,降低
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor,让清理在膨胀累积之前运行。 - 监控
pg_stat_user_tables中的n_dead_tup和上次清理时间,并对清理落后的表设置告警。 - 避免长事务以及在事务内空闲的会话;它们会阻止失效行被回收。
- 使用
VACUUM (VERBOSE)或pg_stat_progress_vacuum检查清理情况,使用REINDEX或pg_repack处理已经膨胀的索引。
常见陷阱
VACUUM FULL 会重写整张表并获取排他锁,应有计划地安排。大规模删除最好分批执行。对于分布偏斜的列,可能需要提高统计信息目标值。
