Hi all, I have a little problem, I would like to execute select * from table and i would like to retrieve the number of records without make select count(*) from table I could use directly the table instead of select, and in this this case I'm searching for something like the reltuples field in the pg_class table, but I need this value in real time. Any suggestion?
