Обсуждение: Determine dead tuples size
Hello guys, is it possible to determine dead tuples size for table? -- Alexey Romanchuk
Try the contrib module pgstattuple. 2007/3/15, Alexey Romanchuk <aromanchuk@swsoft.com>: > Hello guys, > > is it possible to determine dead tuples size for table? > > -- > Alexey Romanchuk > > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate > subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your > message can get through to the mailing list cleanly > -- Daniel Cristian Cruz Analista de Sistemas

Here it is output: pgstattuple ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (233242624,1186804,206555428,88.56,20707,3380295,1.45,13896816,5.96) When i try to sum all size (live, dead and free) the sum is not equal total size. For this table 206555428 + 3380295 + 13896816 = 223832539. The difference between total and sum is 9410085. It is near 5%. Is it ok? -- Alexey Romanchuk

Try "SELECT * FROM pgstattuple('foo')", that'll tell you what the columns are. Take a look at README.pgstattuple as well for more details. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

It is near 5%. pgstattuple is a bit simplistic: it doesn't count the page headers or item pointers at all. It looks to me like it also fails to consider the effects of alignment padding --- if a tuple's length is shown as 63, that's what it counts, even though the effective length is 64. (This might not be a problem in practice --- I'm not sure if the stored t_len has always been maxaligned or not.) regards, tom lane
