53.53. 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
.

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 tables the current user owns.
