I need to get statistics from a bunch of tables. Simply the number of
records in them.

The query plan looks like this:

=> explain select count(id) from stuff;
                           QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate  (cost=1629.69..1629.70 rows=1 width=8)
  ->  Seq Scan on stuff  (cost=0.00..1517.75 rows=44775 width=8)

The sequential scan kind of worries me. Is there a better/faster way to do this?
