| Set pg_class.reltuples for partitioned tables
|
| When commit 0827e8af70f4 added auto-analyze support for partitioned
| tables, it included code to obtain reltuples for the partitioned table
| as a number of catalog accesses to read pg_class.reltuples for each
| partition. That's not only very inefficient, but also problematic
| because autovacuum doesn't hold any locks on any of those tables -- and
| doesn't want to. Replace that code with a read of pg_class.reltuples
| for the partitioned table, and make sure ANALYZE and TRUNCATE properly
| maintain that value.
|
| I found no code that would be affected by the change of relpages from
| zero to non-zero for partitioned tables, and no other code that should
| be maintaining it, but if there is, hopefully it'll be an easy fix.

+ {
+ /*
+ * Partitioned tables don't have storage, so we don't set any
fields in
+ * their pg_class entries except for relpages, which is
necessary for
+ * auto-analyze to work properly.

This refers to "relpages", but I think it means "reltuples".
src/include/commands/vacuum.h:extern void vac_update_relstats(Relation relation,
src/include/commands/vacuum.h- BlockNumber
num_pages,
src/include/commands/vacuum.h- double num_tuples,
src/include/commands/vacuum.h- BlockNumber
num_all_visible_pages,
I'm adding it for the next round of "v14docs" patch if you don't want to make a
separate commit for that.
