3 The catalog <code class="structname">pg_statistic_ext_data</code>
4 holds data for extended planner statistics defined in
5 <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-statistic-ext.html" title="52.52. pg_statistic_ext"><code class="structname">pg_statistic_ext</code></a>.
6 Each row in this catalog corresponds to a <em class="firstterm">statistics object</em>
7 created with <a class="link" href="sql-createstatistics.html" title="CREATE STATISTICS"><code class="command">CREATE STATISTICS</code></a>.
9 Normally there is one entry, with <code class="structfield">stxdinherit</code> =
10 <code class="literal">false</code>, for each statistics object that has been analyzed.
11 If the table has inheritance children or partitions, a second entry with
12 <code class="structfield">stxdinherit</code> = <code class="literal">true</code> is also created.
13 This row represents the statistics object over the inheritance tree, i.e.,
14 statistics for the data you'd see with
15 <code class="literal">SELECT * FROM <em class="replaceable"><code>table</code></em>*</code>,
16 whereas the <code class="structfield">stxdinherit</code> = <code class="literal">false</code> row
17 represents the results of
18 <code class="literal">SELECT * FROM ONLY <em class="replaceable"><code>table</code></em></code>.
