schemaname name (references pg_namespace.nspname)

Name of schema containing table

tablename name (references pg_class.relname)

Name of table the statistics object is defined on

statistics_schemaname name (references pg_namespace.nspname)

Name of schema containing extended statistics object

statistics_name name (references pg_statistic_ext.stxname)

Name of extended statistics object

statistics_owner name (references pg_authid.rolname)

Owner of the extended statistics object

expr text

Expression included in the extended statistics object

null_frac float4

Fraction of expression entries that are null

avg_width int4

Average width in bytes of expression's entries

n_distinct float4

If greater than zero, the estimated number of distinct values in the expression. If less than zero, the negative of the number of distinct values divided by the number of rows. (The negated form is used when ANALYZE believes that the number of distinct values is likely to increase as the table grows; the positive form is used when the expression seems to have a fixed number of possible values.) For example, -1 indicates a unique expression in which the number of distinct values is the same as the number of rows.

most_common_vals anyarray

A list of the most common values in the expression. (Null if no values seem to be more common than any others.)

most_common_freqs float4[]

A list of the frequencies of the most common values, i.e., number of occurrences of each divided by total number of rows. (Null when most_common_vals is.)

histogram_bounds anyarray

A list of values that divide the expression's values into groups of approximately equal population. The values in most_common_vals, if present, are omitted from this histogram calculation. (This expression is null if the expression data type does not have a < operator or if the most_common_vals list accounts for the entire population.)

correlation float4

Statistical correlation between physical row ordering and logical ordering of the expression values. This ranges from -1 to +1. When the value is near -1 or +1, an index scan on the expression will be estimated to be cheaper than when it is near zero, due to reduction of random access to the disk. (This expression is null if the expression's data type does not have a < operator.)

most_common_elems anyarray

A list of non-null element values most often appearing within values of the expression. (Null for scalar types.)

most_common_elem_freqs float4[]

A list of the frequencies of the most common element values, i.e., the fraction of rows containing at least one instance of the given value. Two or three additional values follow the per-element frequencies; these are the minimum and maximum of the preceding per-element frequencies, and optionally the frequency of null elements. (Null when most_common_elems is.)

elem_count_histogram float4[]

A histogram of the counts of distinct non-null element values within the values of the expression, followed by the average number of distinct non-null elements. (Null for scalar types.)
