PostgreSQL:8.2.4 I am collecting statistics info now on my database. I
have used the following two queries: select * from pg_stat_all_indexes; select * from pg_statio_all_indexes; How can I use the information from these two queries to
better optimize my indexes? Or maybe even get rid of some unnecessary
indexes. Example output: relid | indexrelid |
