Hmm.. I was under the impression that it would work for any tables that
haven't otherwise been overridden.
       Sets the default statistics target for table columns that have       not had a column-specific target set via
ALTERTABLE SET       STATISTICS. Larger values increase the time needed to do       ANALYZE, but may improve the
qualityof the planner's estimates.       The default is 10.
