The pgstats stats are only approximate, but ideally they'd converge towards reality over time when they're wrong. Seems like maybe this one table has a usage pattern that's odd enough to throw things off. Maybe you have unusual autovacuum/autoanalyze parameters for it, for example? Is there anything strange about the way you insert/update/delete in it? A simpler explanation might be that this table has inheritance children --- the pgstats count would consider only the table itself, but "select count(1) from items" would scan the child tables too. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
