From 1887f2ed8cc16a00c60bf72533a8bb195c040faf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Korotkov <akorotkov@postgresql.org> Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2023 00:38:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update comments for pg_statistic catalog table Make a reminder that pg_stats view needs to be modified whenever a new slot kind is added. To prevent situations like 918eee0c49 when pg_stats was forgotten to be updated. Also, revise the comment that only non-null, non-empty rows are considered for the range length histogram.
