I have adjusted the text to add your term, and added your name: Add multi-column optimizer statistics to compute the correlation ratio and number of distinct values (Tomas Vondra, David Rowley, Álvaro Herrera) I think we have to mention the exact statistics collected because we know that they are of limited usefulness (per Tomas) and full multi-column statistics are needed and hopefully coming in PG 11. If we don't mention the details I am afraid people will be disappointed with PG 10 and will not be excited when they are more powerful in PG 11. Any better wording? I will work on the other items you posted shortly. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
