Vacuum at the Page Level

https://boringsql.com/og-images/vacuum-at-the-page-level-og.jpg
PostgreSQL's VACUUM reclaims dead tuple space via pruning (marks LP_DEAD), index cleanup (removes stale entries), and heap cleanup (marks LP_UNUSED), with indexes requiring a two-step process. Regular VACUUM reuses freed space via FSM/visibility maps but cannot shrink files without VACUUM FULL, which compacts data at the cost of exclusive locks.
