Thank you for developing this feature. If the relpages option contains -1 only for partitioned tables, shouldn't pg_set_relation_stats restrict the values that can be specified by table type? The attached patch limits the value to -1 or more if the target is a partition table, and 0 or more otherwise. Changing relpages to -1 on a non-partitioned table seems to significantly change the execution plan. --- postgres=> EXPLAIN (COSTS OFF) SELECT * FROM data1 WHERE c1=1000; QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------- Index Scan using data1_pkey on data1 Index Cond: (c1 = 1000) (2 rows) postgres=> SELECT pg_set_relation_stats('data1', relpages=>-1); pg_set_relation_stats ----------------------- t (1 row) postgres=> EXPLAIN (COSTS OFF) SELECT * FROM data1 WHERE c1=1000; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------- Bitmap Heap Scan on data1 Recheck Cond: (c1 = 1000) -> Bitmap Index Scan on data1_pkey Index Cond: (c1 = 1000) (4 rows) --- Regards, Noriyoshi Shinoda From: Corey Huinker <corey.huin...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2024 10:00 AM To: Jeff Davis <pg...@j-davis.com> Cc: Shinoda, Noriyoshi (SXD Japan FSIP) <noriyoshi.shin...@hpe.com>; jian he <jian.universal...@gmail.com>; Matthias van de Meent <boekewurm+postg...@gmail.com>; Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us>; Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us>; Nathan Bossart <nathandboss...@gmail.com>; Magnus Hagander <mag...@hagander.net>; Stephen Frost <sfr...@snowman.net>; Ashutosh Bapat <ashutosh.bapat....@gmail.com>; Peter Smith <smithpb2...@gmail.com>; PostgreSQL Hackers <pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org>; alvhe...@alvh.no-ip.org Subject: Re: Statistics Import and Export Patch that allows relation_statistics_update to continue after one failed stat (0001) attached, along with bool->void change (0002).
