Re: Dumb question - how to tell if autovacuum is doing its job in 8.2.x

Make sure you have stats collector enabled, if auto vacuum is doing the
analyze and vacuum it should be recording that info in this view. For
details on this you can have a look at -->
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/monitoring-stats.html

Just for a test try doing a VACUUM or ANALYZE manually and see if that gets
updated in the last_vacuum of pg_stats_all_tables.
