All, I've been looking at pg_stat_user_tables (in 8.3, because of a project I have), and it appears that autovacuum, and only autovaccum, updates the data for this view. This means that one can never have data in pg_stat_user_tables which is completely up-to-date, and if autovacuum is off, the view is useless. Am I reading this correctly? If so, shouldn't this be a TODO -- or is it fixed already in 9.0? -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
