Thread: pg_statio_all_indexes
Hi, I'm not sure about the value idx_blks_hit of pg_statio_all_indexes view. Is it total value of touched pages, or do I get total value when I add idx_blks_read to it? In other words - does idx_blks_hit cover also physical reads? Thanks, David Hoksza
As per my understanding, 'pg_statio_all_indexes' displays "idx_blks_hit" using "pg_stat_get_blocks_hit(oid)" where the function "pg_stat_get_blocks_hit" gets number of disk block requests found in cache for a table or index.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

I believe blks_hit is the number of page requests that were found in cache and hence did *not* require a read(). The other column is the number of page requests that *did* require a read(). regards, tom lane
Yes, you are right. I now tried to select from one table various amount of records and when the amount exceeded some given number so the blks_hit begun fall.
