Additionally (correct me if I'm wrong, Tom), background activity like
autovacuum will generate countable transactions. I can see transactions
increment by a dozen or more on a completely "idle" database if I just
wait a minute or two but the number of those transactions, while visible
on an idle system, is lost in the noise on a busy database.
Other things that generate transactions include connecting to the
database (one, it appears) but \d in psql appears to generate a minimum
of four.
Cheers,
Steve
