Hi ,

      I have version of PostgreSQL as given below:---

                                       version
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 8.1.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC)
3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)

And it does't have any n_dead_tup columns in pg_stat_all_tables like this:

mydb=# \d pg_stat_all_tables
View "pg_catalog.pg_stat_all_tables"
    Column     |  Type  | Modifiers
---------------+--------+-----------
 relid         | oid    |
 schemaname    | name   |
 relname       | name   |
 seq_scan      | bigint |
 seq_tup_read  | bigint |
 idx_scan      | bigint |
 idx_tup_fetch | bigint |
 n_tup_ins     | bigint |
 n_tup_upd     | bigint |
 n_tup_del     | bigint |

In what situations table creates a new row instead of using deleted
marked tuples that's why size of table increases abnormally.
