Stats traffic should not be affected at all. It just user the same messages already there to increase a couple of global counters per database. The only thing that increases is that the stats file gets another 5 counters per database. Given how few databases you normally have compared to number of tables, I would think that should be pretty trivial. Scanning them on demand will require loading the whole stats file into the backend instead of just the current database, which I considered more bloated.. /Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
