I'm getting familiarized with using PostgreSQL for ArcGIS. I've only ever used SQL Server.

I was successful in setting up an ArcSDE database within PostgreSQL 9.2, but what maintenance should I do for PostgreSQL database?

  • unless you have a complex setup, setting autovacuum=on may be all you need (it is enabled by default). Many so called maintenance scripts actually are bad for performance. Commented Nov 21, 2013 at 16:06
  • Yeah, I won't get too carried away, I just want to be familiar with them. Does PostGres have a maintenance plan wizard or something similar to SQL Server for daily backups? Commented Nov 21, 2013 at 16:14
  • @GISer pgadmin III has these options to do data pumps and backups/maintenance - it should be installed with (as default) postgres Commented Nov 21, 2013 at 16:17
