All,
I've been looking at pg_stat_user_tables (in 8.3, because of a project I
have), and it appears that autovacuum, and only autovaccum, updates the
data for this view. This means that one can never have data in
pg_stat_user_tables which is completely up-to-date, and if autovacuum is
off, the view is useless.
Am I reading this correctly? If so, shouldn't this be a TODO -- or is
it fixed already in 9.0?
