Hello Guillaume!

As I highlighted the records count for these tables which are quite high,
would it be a best practice if we change the vacuum and analyze scale
factor at the table level?
Also, I am trying to understand if partitioning is required for these
tables, or at least for the one which has over 500million records?

Regards
Siraj
