Hi, http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/catalog-pg-statistic.html
It specifies that entries are created by ANALYZE, but does not mention that if a table is empty the entry for it is not created. Probably it is worth to add to the docs. The test case is below. grayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#create table t1 (i integer);CREATE TABLEgrayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#select stanullfrac, stawidth from pg_statistic where starelid = 't1'::regclass; stanullfrac | stawidth -------------+----------(0 rows) grayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#analyze t1;ANALYZEgrayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#select stanullfrac, stawidth from pg_statistic where starelid = 't1'::regclass; stanullfrac | stawidth -------------+----------(0 rows) grayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#insert into t1 values (1);INSERT 0 1grayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#select stanullfrac, stawidth from pg_statistic where starelid = 't1'::regclass; stanullfrac | stawidth -------------+----------(0 rows) grayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#analyze t1;ANALYZEgrayhemp@[local]:5432 test=#select stanullfrac, stawidth from pg_statistic where starelid = 't1'::regclass; stanullfrac | stawidth -------------+---------- 0 | 4(1 row) -- Sergey Konoplev Blog: http://gray-hemp.blogspot.com LinkedIn: http://ru.linkedin.com/in/grayhemp JID/GTalk: gray...@gmail.com Skype: gray-hemp -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
