pre-Vacuum statistics

Greetings,
All the recommendations I can locate concerning the use of (the various
flavors of) VACUUM suggest running it at regular intervals. Is there any
way, for a given table, to discover how many/what percentage of rows are
likely to be VACUUMable at a given point, so that some kind of
threshold-based VACUUM could be done by an application? We have several
tables that undergo bursty UPDATEs, where large numbers of transactions
occur "relatively" infrequently; and others where the UPDATEs occur at
regular intervals (a few seconds or so).

Thanks for any advice!

                     Regards,
                     Rich Cullingford

Not nicely, but you may want to look at pg_autovacuum either off gborg
or in the 7.4 /contrib/pg_autovacuum directory.

It will fire off a periodic vacuum based on table activity from the
statistics system.
