How to delete replication slot in postgres 9.4

Use pg_drop_replication_slot: select pg_drop_replication_slot('bottledwater'); See the docs and this blog. The replication slot must be inactive, i.e. no active connections. So if there's a streaming replica using the slot you must stop the streaming replica. Or you can change its recovery.conf so it doesn't use a slot anymore and restart...

How to use Rails #update_attribute with array field?
ruby-on-rails,ruby,postgresql,ruby-on-rails-4,activerecord

why do we use vaccum command in PostgreSQL exactly?
If you DELETE rows or UPDATE them, then VACUUM is required to free the space for re-use. PostgreSQL usually does this automatically with autovacuum, so it is not common for you to need to manually run VACUUM. You might manually run VACUUM after updating a large proportion of a table,...
