Sure you do. The existing code, eg in selfuncs.c, does it about like
this:
RangeTblEntry *rte = planner_rt_fetch(rel->relid, root);
Assert(rte->rtekind == RTE_RELATION);
relid = rte->relid;
Assert(relid != InvalidOid);
...
vardata.statsTuple = SearchSysCache3(STATRELATTINH,
ObjectIdGetDatum(relid),
Int16GetDatum(colnum),
BoolGetDatum(rte->inh));
This is maybe a bit confusing, in that rel->relid is a range
table index but rte->relid is an OID.
FWIW, I seriously doubt that the numbers kept by the pg_stat mechanisms
are what you want for query planning purposes.
