- The <code class="filename">pgstattuple</code> module provides various functions to
- obtain tuple-level statistics.
- </p><p>
- Because these functions return detailed page-level information, access is
- restricted by default. By default, only the
- role <code class="literal">pg_stat_scan_tables</code> has <code class="literal">EXECUTE</code>
- privilege. Superusers of course bypass this restriction. After the
- extension has been installed, users may issue <code class="command">GRANT</code>
- commands to change the privileges on the functions to allow others to
- execute them. However, it might be preferable to add those users to
- the <code class="literal">pg_stat_scan_tables</code> role instead.

- Whereas <code class="function">pgstattuple</code> always performs a
- full-table scan and returns an exact count of live and dead tuples
- (and their sizes) and free space, <code class="function">pgstattuple_approx</code>
- tries to avoid the full-table scan and returns exact dead tuple
- statistics along with an approximation of the number and
- size of live tuples and free space.
- </p><p>
- It does this by skipping pages that have only visible tuples
- according to the visibility map (if a page has the corresponding VM
- bit set, then it is assumed to contain no dead tuples). For such
- pages, it derives the free space value from the free space map, and
- assumes that the rest of the space on the page is taken up by live
- tuples.
- </p><p>
- For pages that cannot be skipped, it scans each tuple, recording its
- presence and size in the appropriate counters, and adding up the
- free space on the page. At the end, it estimates the total number of
- live tuples based on the number of pages and tuples scanned (in the
- same way that VACUUM estimates pg_class.reltuples).
