Knowing whether anybody is using a specific table

This recipe helps you when you are in doubt whether some obscure table is used any more or it is left over from the past and just takes up space.

To see whether a table is currently in active use (that is, whether anyone is using it while you are watching it), run the following query on the database you plan to inspect:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp_stat_user_tables AS
       SELECT * FROM pg_stat_user_tables...
