Note

On upgrading your server just by replacing the executables, update the pg_stats_vacuum_database view as superuser who ran initdb:

  • For each database, including template1, but not including template0, run:

    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW pg_stats_vacuum_database AS
    SELECT
      db.oid as dboid,  stats.db_blks_read,
      stats.db_blks_hit,
      stats.total_blks_dirtied,
      stats.total_blks_written,  stats.wal_records,
      stats.wal_fpi,
      stats.wal_bytes,  stats.blk_read_time,
      stats.blk_write_time,  stats.delay_time,
      stats.system_time,
      stats.user_time,
      stats.total_time,  stats.interrupts
    FROM
      pg_database db LEFT JOIN pg_stats_vacuum_database(db.oid) stats
    ON
      db.oid = stats.dboid;
    

  • For the template0 database, run:

    \c template1
    ALTER DATABASE template0 ALLOW_CONNECTIONS on;
    \c template0
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW pg_stats_vacuum_database AS
    SELECT
      db.oid as dboid,  stats.db_blks_read,
      stats.db_blks_hit,
      stats.total_blks_dirtied,
      stats.total_blks_written,  stats.wal_records,
      stats.wal_fpi,
      stats.wal_bytes,  stats.blk_read_time,
      stats.blk_write_time,  stats.delay_time,
      stats.system_time,
      stats.user_time,
      stats.total_time,  stats.interrupts
    FROM
      pg_database db LEFT JOIN pg_stats_vacuum_database(db.oid) stats
    ON
      db.oid = stats.dboid;
    \c template1
    ALTER DATABASE template0 ALLOW_CONNECTIONS off;
