Re: Finding cardinality of an index

I know two ways:

1) Use DbVisualizer, very handy, but a bit slow.  For a give table go to
the indexes tab and it's show you the cardinality

2) Use this sql

SELECT relname, relkind, reltuples as cardinality, relpages
FROM pg_class
WHERE relname LIKE 'mytablename%';

Subject: [GENERAL] Finding cardinality of an index

All,

Is there a way to determine cardinality (size) of an
index?  In general how to you query the 'attributes'
(for lack of a better word) of an index.

thanks,

Bill
