Using the following code:

bool pgTable::GetVacuumHint()
{    bool canHint=false;
    if (rowsCounted) // We've explicitly counted the rows    {        if (!estimatedRows || (estimatedRows == 1000 &&
rows.GetValue()
 
!= 1000))            canHint = (rows >= 20);        else        {            double
rowsDbl=(wxLongLong_t)rows.GetValue();           double quot=rowsDbl *10. / estimatedRows;            canHint = ((quot
>12 || quot < 8) && (rowsDbl < 
 
estimatedRows-20. || rowsDbl > estimatedRows+20.));        }    }    else if (estimatedRows == 1000)    {
canHint= true;    }    return canHint;
 
}
