pg_stat_all_tables

The pg_stat_all_tables view shows one row for each table in the current database (including TOAST tables) to display statistics about accesses to that specific table.

The pg_stat_user_tables and pg_stat_sys_tables views contain the same information, but filtered to only show user and system tables respectively.

In Greenplum Database 5, the pg_stat_*_tables views display access statistics for tables only from the master instance. Access statistics from segment instances are ignored. You can create views that display access statistics that combine statistics from the master and the segment instances, see Table Access Statistics from the Master and Segment Instances.

Column	Type	Description
relid	oid	OID of a table
schemaname	name	Name of the schema that this table is in
relname	name	Name of this table
seq_scan	bigint	Total number of sequential scans initiated on this table from all segment instances
seq_tup_read	bigint	Number of live rows fetched by sequential scans
idx_scan	bigint	Total number of index scans initiated on this table from all segment instances
idx_tup_fetch	bigint	Number of live rows fetched by index scans
n_tup_ins	bigint	Number of rows inserted
n_tup_upd	bigint	Number of rows updated (includes HOT updated rows)
n_tup_del	bigint	Number of rows deleted
n_tup_hot_upd	bigint	Number of rows HOT updated (i.e., with no separate index update required)
n_live_tup	bigint	Estimated number of live rows
n_dead_tup	bigint	Estimated number of dead rows
last_vacuum	timestamp with time zone	Last time this table was manually vacuumed (not counting VACUUM FULL)
last_autovacuum	timestamp with time zone	Last time this table was vacuumed by the autovacuum daemon1. Note: Greenplum Database 5.x does not populate this column value.
last_analyze	timestamp with time zone	Last time this table was manually analyzed
last_autoanalyze	timestamp with time zone	Last time this table was analyzed by the autovacuum daemon1. Note: Greenplum Database 5.x does not populate this column value.

Note: ¹In Greenplum Database, the autovacuum daemon is deactivated and not supported for user defined databases.

Table Access Statistics from the Master and Segment Instances

To display table access statistics that combine statistics from the master and the segment instances, you can create these views. A user requires SELECT privilege on the views to use them.
