pg_statistic_ext_data
The catalog pg_statistic_ext_data
holds data for extended planner statistics defined in
pg_statistic_ext.
Each row in this catalog corresponds to a statistics object
created with CREATE STATISTICS.
Normally there is one entry, with stxdinherit =
false, for each statistics object that has been analyzed.
If the table has inheritance children or partitions, a second entry with
stxdinherit = true is also created.
This row represents the statistics object over the inheritance tree, i.e.,
statistics for the data you'd see with
SELECT * FROM ,
whereas the table*stxdinherit = false row
represents the results of
SELECT * FROM ONLY .
table
Like pg_statistic,
pg_statistic_ext_data should not be
readable by the public, since the contents might be considered sensitive.
(Example: most common combinations of values in columns might be quite
interesting.)
pg_stats_ext
is a publicly readable view
on pg_statistic_ext_data (after joining
with pg_statistic_ext) that only exposes
information about those tables and columns that are readable by the
current user.
