hi.
per
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/catalog-pg-statistic-ext.html
extended statistics either based on column name or expression.
If based on column name, imagine a simple case:
CREATE STATISTICS ON a FROM t1,t2;
pg_statistic_ext obviously needs another column to store other relation oids.
in this case, we can use AlteredTableInfo->changedStatisticsOids to lookup
catalog table pg_statistic_ext to find out the associated relation oids
If extended statistics is based on expression, imagine a simple case:
CREATE STATISTICS on (t1.a + t2.a) from t1, t2;
ruleutils.c can not cope with expressions like: "(t1.a + t2.a)",
so we have to wrap the expression into a Query Node, store it in
pg_statistic_ext.stxexprs.
If pg_statistic_ext does not contain all associated relation
OIDs, all these pg_get_statisticsobjdef_expressions won't work
pg_statistic_ext should contain all associated relation OIDs, in my opinion. If
pg_statistic_ext does store all related relation OIDs, then the potential issue
you mentioned above should be solvable.
