PGXC_STAT_TABLE_DIRTY

PGXC_STAT_TABLE_DIRTY displays statistics about all the tables on all the CNs and DNs in the current cluster, and the dirty page rate of tables on a single CN or DN. This view is supported only by clusters of version 8.1.3 or later.

The statistics of this view depend on the ANALYZE operation. To obtain the most accurate information, perform the ANALYZE operation on the table first.

Suggestion

  • Before running VACUUM FULL on a system catalog with a high dirty page rate, ensure that no user is performing operations on it.
  • You are advised to run VACUUM FULL to tables (excluding system catalogs) whose dirty page rate exceeds 80% or run it based on service scenarios.

Scenarios

  1. Query the overall dirty page rate of all the user tables in a database.
  2. Query the overall dirty page rate of all the tables (user tables and system catalogs) in a database.
  3. Query all system catalogs in a database.
