The view <code class="structname">pg_stats_ext</code> provides access to
information about each extended statistics object in the database,
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>
and <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-statistic-ext-data.html" title="53.53. pg_statistic_ext_data"><code class="structname">pg_statistic_ext_data</code></a>
catalogs. This view allows access only to rows of
<a class="link" href="catalog-pg-statistic-ext.html" title="53.52. pg_statistic_ext"><code class="structname">pg_statistic_ext</code></a> and <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-statistic-ext-data.html" title="53.53. pg_statistic_ext_data"><code class="structname">pg_statistic_ext_data</code></a>
that correspond to tables the user has permission to read, and therefore
it is safe to allow public read access to this view.
</p><p>
<code class="structname">pg_stats_ext</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 new types
of extended statistics are added to <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-statistic-ext.html" title="53.52. pg_statistic_ext"><code class="structname">pg_statistic_ext</code></a>.

N-distinct counts for combinations of column values. If greater

If less than zero, the negative of the number of distinct values divided

(The negated form is used when <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 column seems to have a fixed number
of possible values.) For example, -1 indicates a unique combination of
columns in which the number of distinct combinations is the same as the
number of rows.
