That might be a good way to go. I don't think we want something like pg_stat_all_tables for this, because it seems that Greg's use case is to be able to see how a *particular* autovacuum process is doing *while it's running*, not to look at aggregate statistics over time. Putting it in pg_stat_activity would be good for that. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
