I'd like to use autovacuum to clean up the tables rather than schedule a 
full vacuum with cron as it will be more selective/intelligent about what 
gets cleaned. But is it possible to stop it running during peak/office 
hours?

I've seen a post mention using pg_autovacuum.enabled to do this, but this 
appears to be on a per table basis... I'd like to do this across the board, 
without restarting the db. Is this possible or do i need to insert every 
table into pg_autovacuum and run a script that sets the enabled flag as 
appropriate?

Thanks
