>             Project: Apache Airflow
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: Airflow 1.7.0
>            Reporter: Rafael
>
> Dear Airflow Maintainers,
> h1. Environment
> * Airflow version: *v1.7.0*
> * Airflow components: *PostgresOperator*
> * Python Version: *Python 3.5.1*
> * Operating System: *15.4.0 Darwin*
> h1. Description of Issue
> I am trying to execute a `VACUUM` command as part of DAG with the `PostgresOperator`, which fails with the following error:
> {quote}
> [2016-05-14 16:14:01,849] {__init__.py:36} INFO - Using executor SequentialExecutor

> psycopg2.InternalError: VACUUM cannot run inside a transaction block
> {quote}
> I could create a small python script that performs the operation, as explained in [this stackoverflow entry](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1017463/postgresql-how-to-run-vacuum-from-code-outside-transaction-block). However, I would like to know first if the `VACUUM` command should be supported by the `PostgresOperator`.
> h1. Reproducing the Issue
> The operator can be declared as follows:
> {quote}
> conn = ('postgres_default')
> t4 = PostgresOperator(
>     task_id='vacuum',
>     postgres_conn_id=conn,
>     sql=("VACUUM public.table"),
>     dag=dag
>     )
> {quote}
