VACUUM: the most underappreciated word in databases

Once a year I write a post about VACUUM. This is that post. Skip it if you've heard me before.

This post is being moved off the static site. The full text is currently on the feed as a long-form note. I'm in the slow process of breaking the longer posts back out into permalinks, and this one isn't done yet. Email me if you want the original — I have it.

Why is this here at all? Because old links shouldn't break, and I'd rather give you a placeholder with a way forward than a 404.
