Dear List,

does pgsql maintains statistics on index usage? I mean just a counter
for each index in the database, incremented each time time it is used.
It would be useful to help cleaning almost unused index and to avoid
poisoning the global cache.

I've found nothing so far but may be I've been missing something.

Best regards.

Yes, try this query.  Look at idx_scna, & idx_tup_fetch

SELECT n.nspname as schema,
       i.relname as table,
       i.indexrelname as index,
       i.idx_scan,
       i.idx_tup_read,
       i.idx_tup_fetch,
       CASE WHEN idx.indisprimary
            THEN 'pkey'
            WHEN idx.indisunique
            THEN 'uidx'
            ELSE 'idx'
            END AS type,
       idx.indisexclusion,
       pg_get_indexdef(idx.indexrelid),
       CASE WHEN idx.indisvalid
            THEN 'valid'
            ELSE 'INVALID'
            END as statusi,
       pg_relation_size(quote_ident(n.nspname)|| '.' || quote_ident(i.relname)) as size_in_bytes,
       pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(quote_ident(n.nspname)|| '.' || quote_ident(i.relname))) as size
  FROM pg_stat_all_indexes i
  JOIN pg_class c ON (c.oid = i.relid)
  JOIN pg_namespace n ON (n.oid = c.relnamespace)
  JOIN pg_index idx ON (idx.indexrelid =  i.indexrelid )
 WHERE i.relname LIKE '%%'
   AND n.nspname NOT LIKE 'pg_%'
ORDER BY 1, 2, 3;

I reserve the right to fantasize.  Whether or not you
wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.
