- Specifies the number of transactions by which <command>VACUUM</command> and
- <link linkend="storage-hot"><acronym>HOT</acronym> updates</link>
- will defer cleanup of dead row versions. The
- default is zero transactions, meaning that dead row versions can be
- removed as soon as possible, that is, as soon as they are no longer
- visible to any open transaction. You may wish to set this to a
- non-zero value on a primary server that is supporting hot standby
- servers, as described in <xref linkend="hot-standby"/>. This allows
- more time for queries on the standby to complete without incurring
- conflicts due to early cleanup of rows. However, since the value
- is measured in terms of number of write transactions occurring on the
- primary server, it is difficult to predict just how much additional
- grace time will be made available to standby queries.
- This parameter can only be set in the <filename>postgresql.conf</filename>
- file or on the server command line.
