Tom Lane 115f414124 Fix VACUUM's reporting of dead-tuple counts to the stats collector.
Historically, VACUUM has just reported its new_rel_tuples estimate
(the same thing it puts into pg_class.reltuples) to the stats collector.
That number counts both live and dead-but-not-yet-reclaimable tuples.
This behavior may once have been right, but modern versions of the
pgstats code track live and dead tuple counts separately, so putting
the total into n_live_tuples and zero into n_dead_tuples is surely
pretty bogus.  Fix it to report live and dead tuple counts separately.

This doesn't really do much for situations where updating transactions
commit concurrently with a VACUUM scan (possibly causing double-counting or
omission of the tuples they add or delete); but it's clearly an improvement
over what we were doing before.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
