While the default value for relpages is 0, if a partitioned table with at least one child has been analyzed, then the partititoned table will have a relpages value of -1. Author: Corey Huinker Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CADkLM=fajh1Lpcyr_XsMmq-9Z=SGk-u+_Zeac7Pt0RAN3uiVCg@mail.gmail.com
While we haven't observed any test instability, it seems like a good idea to disable autovacuum during the stats import tests. Author: Corey Huinker Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CADkLM=fajh1Lpcyr_XsMmq-9Z=SGk-u+_Zeac7Pt0RAN3uiVCg@mail.gmail.com
These functions will either raise an ERROR or run to normal completion, so no return value is necessary. Bump catalog version. Author: Corey Huinker Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CADkLM=cBF8rnphuTyHFi3KYzB9ByDgx57HwK9Rz2yp7S+Om87w@mail.gmail.com
Enable manipulation of attribute statistics. Only superficial validation is performed, so it's possible to add nonsense, and it's up to the planner (or other users of statistics) to behave reasonably in that case. Bump catalog version.

Previously, an invalid attribute name was caught, but the error message was unhelpful.
Similar to the pg_set_*_stats() functions, except with a variadic signature that's designed to be more future-proof. Additionally, most problems are reported as WARNINGs rather than ERRORs, allowing most stats to be restored even if some cannot. These functions are intended to be called from pg_dump to avoid the need to run ANALYZE after an upgrade.

This matches the behavior of vac_update_relstats(), which is important to avoid bloating pg_class. Author: Corey Huinker Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CADkLM=fc3je+ufv3gsHqjjSSf+t8674RXpuXW62EL55MUEQd-g@mail.gmail.com
