Subject: Where does data in pg_stat_user_tables come from?
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 16:06:06 -0700
Message-ID: <4C8EAE5E.70201@agliodbs.com> (raw)

All,

I've been looking at pg_stat_user_tables (in 8.3, because of a project I
have), and it appears that autovacuum, and only autovaccum, updates the
data for this view.  This means that one can never have data in
pg_stat_user_tables which is completely up-to-date, and if autovacuum is
off, the view is useless.

Am I reading this correctly?  If so, shouldn't this be a TODO -- or is
it fixed already in 9.0?
