Thread: Is there a way to know write statistics on an individual index
Hi,
I know there's a pg_stats_user_indexes that gives statistics about the index scans/fetches, but I don't find any information about how many writes(insert/update/delete) happen on this individual index.
Is there some tool that could achieve this?
Thanks,
Alun

Is this a partial index? If not, those should just increase at the same rate that's mentioned in pg_stat_user_tables for the table that the index belongs to. David

And HOT updates won't affect indexes either, so they should be subtracted from n_tup_upd.
It's not a partial index, but I believe the pg_stat_user_tables contains all the writes on the table, which not necessarily updates the individual index I'm interested in (e.g. when the updated column is not part of the index columns) .

Well, not deletes, right? And HOT updates won't affect indexes either,
so they should be subtracted from n_tup_upd.
