I am searching for a pg_xxxxx view that would allow me to view the

- the fillfactor it was created with
Catalog pg_class, column reloptions.
- the amount of free space on a page(s) storing the index ( assuming
that it was created with a fillfactor and the index has incurred updates
since the creation taking up some space reserved by the fillfactor
during the load).
The usage of a fillfactor nor fragmentation info does not get displayed
in pgAdminIII.
Fillfactor information is available with pgAdmin III 1.8.
In SQL Server 2005 the analogous views would be:
Obcc showcontig and sys.dm_index_physical_stats
Perhaps there is another way to determine fragmentation of indexes in
Postgres, any hint would be much appreciated.
Try pgstattuple module contrib. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/pgstattuple.html for more
informations.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
