The tables in question are pretty busy. A vacuum analyze works fine when run manually. The tables in question were successfully autovacuumed this morning, but that is the first time since the 23rd where it worked. I'm not finding any logging info regarding the autovacuum. I'm not sure if autovacuum is seeing table locks or what, but is there a way to run a more aggressive autovacuum?
