</para>
<para>
The
re is a limit of
<xref linkend="guc-autovacuum-max-workers">
worker
processes that
may be running at any time
, so if the <command>VACUUM</>
and <command>ANALYZE</> work to do takes too long to run, the deadline may
be failed to meet for other databases. Also, if a particular database
takes a long time to process, more than one worker may be processing it
simultaneously
.
The
workers are smart enough to avoid repeating work that
other workers have done, so this is normally not a problem. Note
that
the
number of running workers does not count towards the <xref
linkend="guc-max-connections"> nor
the <xref
linkend="guc-superuser-reserved-connections"> limits.
The <xref linkend="guc-autovacuum-max-workers">
setting limits how many
workers
may be running at any time
. If several large tables all become
eligible for vacuuming in a short amount of time, all autovacuum workers
may end up vacuuming those tables for a very long time. This would result
in other tables and databases not being vacuumed until a worker became
available
. The
re is also not a limit on how many workers might be in a
single database, but workers do try and avoid repeating work
that
has
already been done by other workers. Note that the number of running
workers does not count towards the <xref
linkend="guc-max-connections"> nor
the <xref
linkend="guc-superuser-reserved-connections"> limits.
