pg_statistics bloat after drop table - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Tested on todays HEAD of 9.3.

Steps to reproduce:


$ create table t1 (i int4);
CREATE TABLE

$ insert into t1 (i) values (1);
INSERT 0 1

$ analyze t1;
ANALYZE

$ select count(*) from pg_statistic where starelid = 't1'::regclass;
 count
-------
     1
(1 row)

$ create table t2 () inherits (t1);
CREATE TABLE

$ analyze t1;
ANALYZE

$ select count(*) from pg_statistic where starelid = 't1'::regclass;
 count
-------
     2
(1 row)

$ drop table t2;
DROP TABLE

$ analyze t1;
ANALYZE

$ select count(*) from pg_statistic where starelid = 't1'::regclass;
 count
-------
     2
(1 row)

I think that the additional row (with stainherit = true) should be deleted.
