Thread: check to see when tables were last vacummed

Hi all;

Anyone know where to look to see when tables were last vacuumed via autovacuum
?
Also, can I run this check only in 8.3+ or did it work also in 8.2, 8.1 ?


Thanks in advance

In 8.3 look in the "pg_stat_user_tables" system table for the
last_vacuum and last_autovacuum columns. I don't know when those columns
were added. I don't see them in 8.1 and don't have 8.2 available at the
moment.

Cheers,
Steve

They were added in 8.2 by me.

In 8.3 look in the "pg_stat_user_tables" system table for the
last_vacuum and last_autovacuum columns. I don't know when those columns
were added. I don't see them in 8.1 and don't have 8.2 available at the
