Hackers, I've run into a couple of occasions lately where I really wanted pgstattuple on a production server in order to check table/index bloat. However, in the production environment at a large site installing a contrib module can involve a process which takes days or weeks. Is there some reason why the stattuple functions aren't just available as core functions? Are they unsafe somehow? -- -- Josh Berkus --------------------------------------------------------- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc.
