The view <code class="structname">pg_stats_ext_exprs</code> provides access to

combining information stored in the <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-statistic-ext.html" title="53.52. pg_statistic_ext"><code class="structname">pg_statistic_ext</code></a>

it is safe to allow public read access to this view.

<code class="structname">pg_stats_ext_exprs</code> is also designed to present
the information in a more readable format than the underlying catalogs
— at the cost that its schema must be extended whenever the structure

If greater than zero, the estimated number of distinct values in the

<code class="command">ANALYZE</code> believes that the number of distinct values is
likely to increase as the table grows; the positive form is used when
the expression seems to have a fixed number of possible values.) For
example, -1 indicates a unique expression in which the number of distinct

A list of values that divide the expression's values into groups of
approximately equal population. The values in
<code class="structfield">most_common_vals</code>, if present, are omitted from this
histogram calculation. (This expression is null if the expression data type
does not have a <code class="literal"><</code> operator or if the

<p>
Statistical correlation between physical row ordering and
logical ordering of the expression values. This ranges from -1 to +1.
When the value is near -1 or +1, an index scan on the expression will
be estimated to be cheaper than when it is near zero, due to reduction
of random access to the disk. (This expression is null if the expression's
data type does not have a <code class="literal"><</code> operator.)

A list of the frequencies of the most common element values, i.e., the
fraction of rows containing at least one instance of the given value.
Two or three additional values follow the per-element frequencies;
these are the minimum and maximum of the preceding per-element
frequencies, and optionally the frequency of null elements.

non-null elements. (Null for scalar types.)
