Re: How to detect if a postgresql gin index is bloated

Hello Kam Fook

You can use pgstattuple extension, & you can use pg_trgm or gin_index_stats functions from the pgstattuple extension to check for bloat in GIN indexes.

Thank & Regards

I have a GIN index.  Is there a way to detect if a postgres GIN index is bloated or not?  The regular select * from pgstatindex(‘indexname’); does not work because the GIN index is not btree index.

 

Thank you
