Excerpts from Gordon Shannon's message of mié may 19 18:02:51 -0400 2010: > I'm sorry, I'm not following you.

Hmm? n_live_tup and n_dead_tup corresponds to the current numbers, whereas "last analysis tuples" are the values from back when the previous analyze ran. These counters keep moving per updates, deletes, inserts, they are not static. If there are no update/ins/del then indeed the difference is 0, which is why we choose not do analyze. -- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
