Using pg_relation_filepath, you can know the path to a relation file on disk. So a simple idea would be to use pg_read_binary_file with the path of the file and the path of the init fork, which is suffixed with "_init", and then a comparison between both. If the data read is the same, the relation has been untouched. Note that you can only do such a thing as a superuser, and that the data is read from disk, not from shared buffers. So that's not perfect, but it give an indication. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
