Thread: src/bin/scripts seems a bit of a misnomer now
With Peter's latest commit, there aren't any actual scripts left in
src/bin/scripts; only C programs. Does that bother anyone? I was
wondering about renaming to something like src/bin/misc. (Not that
that name seems very compelling either...)

How about just pulling them up a directory into src/bin? If they were complex, each would have a subdirectory in src/bin, so it seems reasonable to have individual files there. -- Rod Taylor <rbt@rbt.ca> PGP Key: http://www.rbt.ca/rbtpub.asc

Nah, I don't like that. All the programs are at the same level in the
src/bin tree, and I think it should stay that way.
Bruce's idea of calling it "tools" seems reasonable ... although there
might be some confusion because we also have a src/tools directory.
"admintools" seems a bit long to me, although I'd go along if other
people like it. Maybe just "admin"?

I'd think it's still at least as useful as clusterdb. Why, are you
thinking of doing some work on it?

Inside a transaction it drops the index then rebuilds it using what it gets from pg_get_indexdef(), and it looks at the index files on disk before and after to show disk space saved (or grown) per index and total. I run it weekly in cron. Is something like that of use to anyone else? Jon

I think something like this was either posted to the list, put on gborg,
or maybe hidden in contrib somewhere. I'd like a copy if you don't mind,
I currently use reindex regularly on my database but your script sounds
a little more informational.
