A customers DB crashed due to OOM. While investigating the issue in our
report, I created MV stats, which causes this error:
ts=# CREATE STATISTICS sectors_stats (dependencies) ON site_id,sect_id FROM sectors;
CREATE STATISTICS
ts=# ANALYZE sectors;
ERROR: XX000: tuple already updated by self
LOCATION: simple_heap_update, heapam.c:4613
The issue goes away if I drop the stats object and comes back if I recreate it.
We're running 11.3 ; most of the (very few) reports from this error are from
almost 10+ years ago, running pg7.3 like.
I've taken a couple steps to resolve the issue (vacuum full and then reindex
pg_statistic and its toast and the target table, which doesn't have a toast).
I'm guessing the issue is with pg_statistic_ext, which I haven't touched.
Next step seems to be to truncate pg_statistic{,ext} and re-analyze the DB.
Does anyone want debugging/diagnostic info before I do that ?
