4) Expose all information used by autovacuum to form its decisions.
You could argue that this is already there, although not easy to get at
I suppose. But all table threshold settings are available either in the
pg_autovacuum relation or the defaults via GUC variables, that plus a
little math will get the information autovacuum uses to form its decisions.
No, we currently don't expose the number of dead tuples which autovacuum
uses.
I'd prefer to get this working somehow before 8.3. In the mean time, is
this information available at all? I assume a c function could get it,
right? Any easier way?
