<literal>pgstattuple()</literal> returns the relation length, percentage
of the "dead" tuples of a relation and other info. This may help users to
determine whether vacuum is necessary or not. Here is an example session:

<title>Usage</title>
<para>
<literal>pgstattuple</literal> may be called as a relation function and is
defined as follows:
</para>
<programlisting>
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pgstattuple(text) RETURNS pgstattuple_type
AS 'MODULE_PATHNAME', 'pgstattuple'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pgstattuple(oid) RETURNS pgstattuple_type
AS 'MODULE_PATHNAME', 'pgstattuplebyid'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
</programlisting>
<para>
The argument is the relation name (optionally it may be qualified)
or the OID of the relation. Note that pgstattuple only returns
one row.
</para>
