The "postgres-list-table-stats" tool reports table statistics including size, scan metrics, and bloat indicators for PostgreSQL tables.
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## About
|
||||
|
||||
The `postgres-list-table-stats` tool queries `pg_stat_all_tables` to provide comprehensive statistics about tables in the database. It calculates useful metrics like index scan ratio and dead row ratio to help identify performance issues and table bloat.
|
||||
|
||||
The tool returns a JSON array where each element represents statistics for a table, including scan metrics, row counts, and vacuum history. Results are sorted by sequential scans by default and limited to 50 rows.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- **Finding ineffective indexes**: Identify tables with low `idx_scan_ratio_percent` to evaluate index strategy.
|
||||
- **Detecting table bloat**: Sort by `dead_rows` to find tables needing VACUUM.
|
||||
- **Monitoring growth**: Track `total_size_bytes` over time for capacity planning.
|
||||
- **Audit maintenance**: Check `last_autovacuum` and `last_autoanalyze` timestamps to ensure maintenance tasks are running.
|
||||
- **Understanding workload**: Examine `seq_scan` vs `idx_scan` ratios to understand query patterns.

## Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Interpretation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Index Scan Ratio (`idx_scan_ratio_percent`)
|
||||
|
||||
- **High ratio (> 80%)**: Table queries are efficiently using indexes. This is typically desirable.
|
||||
- **Low ratio (< 20%)**: Many sequential scans indicate missing indexes or queries that cannot use existing indexes effectively. Consider adding indexes to frequently searched columns.
|
||||
- **0%**: No index scans performed; all queries performed sequential scans. May warrant index investigation.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dead Row Ratio (`dead_row_ratio_percent`)
|
||||
|
||||
- **< 2%**: Healthy table with minimal bloat.
|
||||
- **2-5%**: Moderate bloat; consider running VACUUM if not recent.
|
||||
- **> 5%**: High bloat; may benefit from manual VACUUM or VACUUM FULL.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Vacuum History
|
||||
|
||||
- **Null `last_vacuum`**: Table has never been manually vacuumed; relies on autovacuum.
|
||||
- **Recent `last_autovacuum`**: Autovacuum is actively managing the table.
|
||||
- **Stale timestamps**: Consider running manual VACUUM and ANALYZE if maintenance windows exist.
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- Statistics are collected from `pg_stat_all_tables`, which resets on PostgreSQL restart.
|
||||
- Run `ANALYZE` on tables to update statistics for accurate query planning.
|
||||
- The tool defaults to limiting results to 50 rows; adjust the `limit` parameter for larger result sets.
|
||||
- Filtering by schema, table name, or owner uses `LIKE` pattern matching (supports partial matches).
