Try something like this where attname is the column name and tablename is,
well, the tablename:
db=> select most_common_vals from pg_stats where tablename = 'region' and attname = 'province';
most_common_vals
------------------
{ON,NB,QC,BC}
Note that there's a second column most_common_freqs and to do this would
really require doing a weighted average based on the frequencies.
