Are there plans to display memory usage: pg_buffercache

From

Dear Friends,

Hello everyone. Nice to talk to you again.

Just out of interest, I would like to know if there are plans to display
PostgreSQL 8.3+ memory usage in pgAdmin to help optimize memory size and
indexes. There is an interesting contrib module called pg_buffercache
that could be usefull if integrated in a nice display. Maybe this would
help pg_buffercache reach PostgreSQL core.

If someone is interested in picking up this contrib module, I can help
for the necessary queries.

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel

There are no current plans that I know of.

Well I think we'd be happy to accept patches for this, but we're all
pretty busy at the moment, so I doubt any of us will have time to do
the work for this release :-(

Can we coax you back into some pgAdmin hacking? I know it's been a few
years, but it's like riding a bike - you never forget how :-)

Hi.

I'm sorry that correspondence interruption becomes long.
However, my work is saved without discussion....

Dear Dave,

I hope you are doing well.

It is nice to be back. I will be reading the mailing list
and may well decide to hack a few things. Never say never ...

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel
