Unofficial Python port of `Heroku's pgextras <https://github.com/heroku/heroku-pg-extras>`_
that provides various statistics for a Postgres instance. The biggest difference
of this module is that your Postgres database can be anywhere, not just
hosted with Heroku.

* BSD license
* Tested against 2.7 and 3.3
* `Documentation <http://python-pgextras.rtfd.org>`_
* `Github <https://github.com/scottwoodall/python-pgextras>`_

Features
########

Note: pgextras does not format the output as seen in all the examples below. Instead it
returns an iterable that contains namedtuples. For example, the "Total Indexes Size"
method returns the following::

[
Record(table='pgbench_accounts', index_size='2208 kB'),
Record(table='pgbench_tellers', index_size='16 kB'),
Record(table='pgbench_branches', index_size='16 kB'),
Record(table='pgbench_history', index_size='0 bytes')
]

It's up to you on how to format and present the data. The results below are
formatted to make it easier to understand the data available to you.

Dev Install
###########

This is specific to the ::
update-sql-statements branch
Clone the repository and change the branch to `update-sql-statements`
cd in to the directory and run ::
python setup.py install
This should install the pgextras exectutable

Now, you can use any postgres database to run pgextras

History
-------

0.2.1 (2018-12-01)
++++++++++++++++++
* Fixed bug that was truncating index names to only 63 characters
* Updated various sql statement to match heroku's version (thanks @mantrala)

0.2.0 (2014-05-06)
++++++++++++++++++

* Added a CLI option. Original idea for this came from `Marek Wywiał
<https://github.com/onjin/pgextrascli>`_.
* Remove commas from integer output so no additional parsing is needed if
someone wants to store the results.
* Make API more consistent by not raising an exception when the
"pg_stat_statement" module is not installed. Instead a list with a single
namedtuple containing the error message is returned.

0.1.1 (2014-05-01)
++++++++++++++++++

* updated documentation
* increased test coverage

0.1.0 (2014-04-25)
++++++++++++++++++

* First release on PyPI.
