Query to find Index bloat - greenplum

Question

I need a query to find whether index bloat on a table. I saw some queries where they are comparing table size with index size. If there is any other approach, please share the query.
I am using Greenplum 4.3 (which is based Postgres 8.2)

Answer 1

Bloat Score Query
The following SQL query will examine each table in the XML schema and identify dead rows (tuples) that are wasting disk space.
SELECT schemaname || '.' || relname as tblnam,
n_dead_tup,
(n_dead_tup::float / n_live_tup::float) * 100 as pfrag
FROM pg_stat_user_tables
WHERE schemaname = 'xml' and n_dead_tup > 0 and n_live_tup > 0 order by pfrag desc;
If this query returns a high percentage ( pfrag ) of dead tuples, the VACUUM command may be used to reclaim space.
