Here is a revised version of pg_stattuple, which shows how many tuples
are "dead" etc. Per Tom's suggestion, a statistic of free/resuable
space is now printed.
test=# select pgstattuple('accounts');
NOTICE: physical length: 39.06MB live tuples: 100000 (12.59MB, 32.23%) dead tuples:
200000 (25.18MB, 64.45%) free/reusable space: 0.04MB (0.10%) overhead: 3.22%
pgstattuple
-------------
64.453125
What I'm not sure is:
o Should I place any kind of lock after reading buffer?
o Should I use similar algorithm to the one used in vacuum to determin
whether the tuple is "dead" or not?
Suggestions?
