I need to get statistics from a bunch of tables. Simply the number of
records in them.
The query plan looks like this:
=> explain select count(id) from stuff;
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate (cost=1629.69..1629.70 rows=1 width=8)
-> Seq Scan on stuff (cost=0.00..1517.75 rows=44775 width=8)
The sequential scan kind of worries me. Is there a better/faster way to do this?
