Hmmm, I installed 7.2.3 from RPMs, but the contrib package seems
to be missing the pgstattuple library code. (According to the
readme, I should do:
$ make
$ make install
$ psql -e -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/pgstattuple.sql test
but the first two lines don't make sense with the binary rpm
distribution and trying the last line as (for my world):
->psql -e -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/pgstattuple.sql
farm.devel.configdb
yields:
DROP FUNCTION pgstattuple(NAME);
psql:/usr/share/pgsql/contrib/pgstattuple.sql:1: ERROR:
RemoveFunction: function 'pgstattuple(name)' does not exist
CREATE FUNCTION pgstattuple(NAME) RETURNS FLOAT8
AS '$libdir/pgstattuple', 'pgstattuple'
LANGUAGE 'c' WITH (isstrict);
psql:/usr/share/pgsql/contrib/pgstattuple.sql:4: ERROR: stat failed
on file '$libdir/pgstattuple': No such file or directory
I don't need this right now (a reindex seems to have fixed
our problem for now...), but it sounds like it would be useful
in the future.
Thanks!
