Ah yes. I was considering adding the clause for unique indexes. Filthy constraint violations.

Also, as a picky point, you really should use functions like
pg_relation_size instead of doing math on relpages.

You know, I always think about that, but I'm essentially lazy. :) I personally haven't ever had the old *8 trick fail, but from your perspective of working with so many variations, I could see how you'd want to avoid it.

I'll be good from now on. ;)
