Re: More Autovacuum Questions

U can install pgstattuple module which is available in the contrib directory
and run it on production as

psql> \x
psql> select * from pgstattuple('public'.'tablename');

it displays the table_len, tuple_count, tuple_len, tuple_percent,
dead_tuple_count, dead_tuple_len,dead_tuple_percent,free_space,free_percent
for the table .
