Thank you for your help! I'll try in pgsql-hackers then :-)

Hi,
I'm not sure why you thought a mailing list on an admin tool would be
a better fit,
if nothing fits, you just choose anything ;-) My first try was even
someone from the German mailing list (that's why the subject of the mail
was still German, sorry for that), but after some mail exchange he just
suggested to write to a developer mailing list. So I read all the
descriptions of the mailing lists and it was like "no -- no -- no --- ...."
but it definitely is not. Don't worry, this isn't a big issue :-)
Anyway, pgsql-hackers is the list you're looking for.
On the patch you'd like to work on, I'd advise you someone else is
working on this. You should read the "WIP: multivariate statistics /
proof of concept" thread on the hackers list. I'm pretty sure you
could get some help from Tomas.
Patches on this topic are of high interest. If I can be of any help,
let me know.
Regards.

Hi,
I was unsure to which mailing list to write, in my opinion
psql-hackers would fit best, but as it is not recommended to write
there directly, I'm trying here.
I'm a phd-student at the university of Jena, Thüringen, Germany,
in the field of data bases, more accurate query optimization.
I want to implement a system in PostgreSQL that detects column
correlations and creates statistical data about correlated columns
for the optimizer. Therefore I need to store two dimensional
statistics (especially two dimensional histograms) in PostgreSQL.
I would like to know where I have to "touch" the source code and
make changes, so that the PostgreSQL optimizer will also take into
consideration my statistical data? I also need a possibility to
extract data from query results (tuple counts and, speaking a
little inaccurately, the where-part of the query itself). Of
course I tried to have a look at the PostgreSQL source code, but
it's impossible to understand everything within a few weeks or
even months....
I'd be grateful for any advices.
Regards,
Katharina
