             Summary: Executing VACUUM with PostgresOperator
                 Key: AIRFLOW-139
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-139
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: Airflow 1.7.0
            Reporter: Rafael


Dear Airflow Maintainers,

### Environment

* Airflow version: *v1.7.0*
* Airflow components: *PostgresOperator*
* Python Version: *Python 3.5.1*
* Operating System: *15.4.0 Darwin*


### Description of Issue

I am trying to execute a `VACUUM` command as part of DAG with the `PostgresOperator`, which fails with the following error:

```
[2016-05-14 16:14:01,849] {__init__.py:36} INFO - Using executor SequentialExecutor
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/airflow", line 15, in <module>
    args.func(args)

    result = task_copy.execute(context=context)

    self.hook.run(self.sql, self.autocommit, parameters=self.parameters)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.5.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/airflow/hooks/dbapi_hook.py", line 109, in run
    cur.execute(s)
psycopg2.InternalError: VACUUM cannot run inside a transaction block
```

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`.

### Reproducing the Issue

The operator can be declared as follows:

```
conn = ('postgres_default')
t4 = PostgresOperator(
    task_id='vacuum',
    postgres_conn_id=conn,
    sql=("VACUUM public.table"),
    dag=dag
    )
```
