Table columns

Column name Data type Description
table_name text Name of the table currently being vacuumed, or the table that was last vacuumed if no operation is in progress.
status text Description of the current activity being done as part of the vacuum operation:

  • Initialize

  • Sort

  • Merge

  • Delete

  • Select

  • Failed

  • Complete

  • Skipped

  • Building INTERLEAVED SORTKEY order
time_remaining_estimate text Estimated time left for the current vacuum operation to complete, in minutes and seconds: 5m 10s, for example. An estimated time is not returned until the vacuum completes its first sort operation. If no vacuum is in progress, the last vacuum that was performed is displayed with Completed in the STATUS column and an empty TIME_REMAINING_ESTIMATE column. The estimate typically becomes more accurate as the vacuum progresses.
