# Top Tables

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, Datasentinel deactivates collection for PostgreSQL instances with over 1000 tables. You have the flexibility to control this collection behavior by adjusting the limit number.
{% endhint %}

## Table Dimensions

Finely analyze your tables among the following dimensions:

* Tuples
* Size
* Sequential scans
* Index scans
* Seq. scans rows fetched
* Index scans rows fetched
* Heap buffer blocks hit
* Heap disk blocks read
* Index disk blocks read
* Index buffer blocks hit
* Inserts
* HOT updates
* Updates
* Deletes
* Dead tuples
* Live tuples
* Tuples modified since analyze
* Frozen xid
* Age frozen xid
* TOAST buffer blocks hit
* TOAST disk blocks read
* TOAST buffer index blocks hit
* TOAST disk index blocks read

{% hint style="info" %}
Explore deeper by drilling down into a chosen table to access both historical and index statistics.
