pgsql: Improve estimation of ANDs under ORs using extended statistics. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Improve estimation of ANDs under ORs using extended statistics.

Formerly, extended statistics only handled clauses that were
RestrictInfos. However, the restrictinfo machinery doesn't create
sub-AND RestrictInfos for AND clauses underneath OR clauses.
Therefore teach extended statistics to handle bare AND clauses,
looking for compatible RestrictInfo clauses underneath them.
