Do the following (in case you have installed server from source): - Go to the <PostgreSQL-source>/contrib/pgstattuple folder - run make and make install (this will copy pgstattuple.so file to the lib folder of your PostgreSQL installation) - Now from psql execute the pgstattuple.sql file for that specific database which can be found in <PG-HOME>/share/contrib folder - Once the sql file is executed now you can use the pgstattuple function -- Shoaib Mir Fujitsu Australia Software Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED]
