1) If the table is a separate relation (not part of an inheritance

2) If the table is using "old" inheritance, this reverts back to
pre-regression behavior. So people will keep using the old statistics
until the ANALYZE, and we need to tell them to ANALYZE or something.

3) If the table is using partitioning, it's guaranteed to be empty and
there are no stats at all. Again, we should tell people to run ANALYZE.

I think these can be mentioned in the commit message, which can end up in the
minor release notes as a recommendation to rerun ANALYZE.


Good point. I pushed the 0002 part and added a short paragraph suggesting ANALYZE might be necessary. I did not go into details about the individual cases, because that'd be too much for a commit message.

Thanks for pushing 0001.


Thanks for posting the patches!

I've pushed the second part - attached are the two remaining parts. I'll wait a bit before pushing the rebased 0001 (which goes into master branch only). Not sure about 0002 - I'm not convinced the refactored ACL checks are an improvement, but I'll think about it.

regards

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add stxdinherit flag to pg_statistic_ext_data

The support for extended statistics on inheritance trees was somewhat
problematic, because the catalog pg_statistic_ext_data did not have a
flag identifying whether the data was built with/without data for the
child relations.

For partitioned tables we've been able to work around this because the
non-leaf relations can't contain data, so there's really just one set of
statistics to store. But for regular inheritance trees we had to pick,
and there is no clearly better option - we need both.

This introduces the pg_statistic_ext_data.stxdinherit flag, analogous to
pg_statistic.stainherit, and modifies analyze to build statistics for
both cases.

This relaxes the relationship between the two catalogs - until now we've
created the pg_statistic_ext_data one when creating the statistics, and
then only updated it later. There was always 1:1 relationship between
rows in the two catalogs. With this change we no longer insert any data
rows while creating statistics, because we don't know which flag value
to create, and it seems wasteful to initialize both for every relation.
The there may be 0, 1 or 2 data rows for each statistics definition.

Patch by me, with extensive improvements and fixes by Justin Pryzby.
