Good morning, We are at Postgres 7.4.5. I have encountered
inaccuracies after reindexing related to the statistics posted back
to the PG_CLASS table For instance: 1. We have a ‘queues’ table with 6
indexes. We are at 110,000 rows in this table. When I reindex, the RELPAGE
count decreases as expected but the RELTUPLE Count increases to about
132,000 in all indexes. I check and there are still Only 110,000 rows on the
table. 2. We have a table that is quite volatile in its
numbers, ranging from 100 to 6 million rows. Last week we were at 50,000 rows
but PG_CLASS.RELTUPLES showed 6 million for The indexes. I reindexed and,
again the RELPAGES count went down but the RELTUPLES Number went down to just 3 million.
Again a count after reindex gave
the actual row count at 52,000. Does anybody have any insight why this is happening and what
I can do in the short term? I know we are at a back-leveled version so perhaps the long-term
answer is to upgrade. Thank you, Mark Steben Senior DBA - AutoRevenue Direct dial phone number: 413-327-3045 Please visit our new website at www.autorevenue.com "We do all the
