Re: : Performance Improvement Strategy

Thank Everyone for your inputs !

Mark,

We are using 9.0, so, i should be able to make use of this "freespacemap"
contrib module and would get back to you with the results.

I was using below query (which i got it by googling)..

But, was not sure, if its picking up the correct information. I want to
avoid mis-prediction cost after whole production has been scheduled for
downtime for maintenance.

SELECT
current_database(), schemaname, tablename, /*reltuples::bigint,
relpages::bigint, otta,*/
ROUND(CASE WHEN otta=0 THEN 0.0 ELSE sml.relpages/otta::numeric END,1) AS
tbloat,
CASE WHEN relpages < otta THEN 0 ELSE bs*(sml.relpages-otta)::bigint END
AS wastedbytes,
iname, /*ituples::bigint, ipages::bigint, iotta,*/
ROUND(CASE WHEN iotta=0 OR ipages=0 THEN 0.0 ELSE ipages/iotta::numeric
END,1) AS ibloat,
CASE WHEN ipages < iotta THEN 0 ELSE bs*(ipages-iotta) END AS
wastedibytes
FROM (
SELECT
schemaname, tablename, cc.reltuples, cc.relpages, bs,
CEIL((cc.reltuples*((datahdr+ma-
(CASE WHEN datahdr%ma=0 THEN ma ELSE datahdr%ma
END))+nullhdr2+4))/(bs-20::float)) AS otta,
COALESCE(c2.relname,'?') AS iname, COALESCE(c2.reltuples,0) AS ituples,
COALESCE(c2.relpages,0) AS ipages,
COALESCE(CEIL((c2.reltuples*(datahdr-12))/(bs-20::float)),0) AS iotta --
very rough approximation, assumes all cols
FROM (
SELECT
ma,bs,schemaname,tablename,
(datawidth+(hdr+ma-(case when hdr%ma=0 THEN ma ELSE hdr%ma
END)))::numeric AS datahdr,
(maxfracsum*(nullhdr+ma-(case when nullhdr%ma=0 THEN ma ELSE
nullhdr%ma END))) AS nullhdr2
FROM (
SELECT
schemaname, tablename, hdr, ma, bs,
SUM((1-null_frac)*avg_width) AS datawidth,
MAX(null_frac) AS maxfracsum,
hdr+(
SELECT 1+count(*)/8
FROM pg_stats s2
WHERE null_frac<>0 AND s2.schemaname = s.schemaname AND
s2.tablename = s.tablename
) AS nullhdr
FROM pg_stats s, (
SELECT
(SELECT current_setting('block_size')::numeric) AS bs,
CASE WHEN substring(v,12,3) IN ('8.0','8.1','8.2') THEN 27 ELSE 23
END AS hdr,
CASE WHEN v ~ 'mingw32' THEN 8 ELSE 4 END AS ma
FROM (SELECT version() AS v) AS foo
) AS constants
GROUP BY 1,2,3,4,5
) AS foo
) AS rs
JOIN pg_class cc ON cc.relname = rs.tablename
JOIN pg_namespace nn ON cc.relnamespace = nn.oid AND nn.nspname =
rs.schemaname AND nn.nspname <> 'information_schema'
LEFT JOIN pg_index i ON indrelid = cc.oid
LEFT JOIN pg_class c2 ON c2.oid = i.indexrelid
) AS sml
ORDER BY wastedbytes DESC

Thanks
Venkat
