I know two ways: 1) Use DbVisualizer, very handy, but a bit slow. For a give table go to the indexes tab and it's show you the cardinality 2) Use this sql SELECT relname, relkind, reltuples as cardinality, relpages FROM pg_class WHERE relname LIKE 'mytablename%'; David ----- Original message ----- From: "Bill Chandler" <billybobc1210@xxxxxxxxx> To: "pgsql-general" <pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2005 08:11:09 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Finding cardinality of an index All, Is there a way to determine cardinality (size) of an index? In general how to you query the 'attributes' (for lack of a better word) of an index. thanks, Bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
