<blockquote><p>PostgreSQL 9.6 introduced a pg_visibility module to get the visibility map information of your table, and it is also giving page level information.<br />
For removing fragmentation, and improve the query performance we should check the visibility map of our table. </p></blockquote>
<p>For that, you need to create a pg_visibility module in PostgreSQL 9.6 and use it.<br />
Previously, people are checking the suffix _vm files which associate with your relation. </p>
<p><strong>Check the below demonstration on how to use pg_visibility:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Create a pg_visibility extension:</strong></p>
<pre class="crayon-plain-tag">CREATE EXTENSION pg_visibility;</pre> </p>
<p><strong>Create a sample table with 10000 dummy records:</strong></p>
<pre class="crayon-plain-tag">CREATE TABLE tbl_checkvmap AS SELECT generate_series(1,10000) AS id;</pre> </p>
<p><strong>Check the visibility map:</strong></p>
<pre class="crayon-plain-tag">SELECT * FROM pg_visibility('tbl_checkvmap'::regclass);</pre> </p>
