Simplify the example of VACUUM in documentation.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Previously a detailed activity report by VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYZE was
described as an example of VACUUM in docs. But it had been obsolete
for a long time. For example, commit feb4f44
updated the content of that activity report in 2003, but we had
forgotten to update the example.

So basically we need to update the example. But since no one cared
about the details of VACUUM output and complained about that mistake
for such long time, per discussion on hackers, we decided to get rid
of the detailed activity report from the example and simplify it.

Back-patch to all supported versions.

Reported by Masahiko Sawada, patch by me.

The following is an example from running <command>VACUUM</command> on a
table in the regression database:
To clean a single table <literal>onek</literal>, analyze it for
