Yup.. Thats why I said you basically lose 1 seconds worth of stats (or rather can't count on when they arrive). But, that doesn't matter for most cases as you cannot cause a lot of trouble with 1 seconds worth of activity. That said, I'd make the actual value a GUC. However, having the numbers off by a little (the %age they're off by decreases with increased activity) is still a lot more useful than not having any numbers at all. Anyway, the basic proposal would be to change the on / off flags for row & block level into a 'stats delay'. A large number would be off, 0 would have the same properties as today. Default to be determined (but 1 second seems to be plenty). -- Rod Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key: http://www.rbt.ca/rbtpub.asc
