Thank you for your attention and for the problem resolution. However
I'm worry a little about possible performance issues related to
monitoring solutions performing regular sampling of statistic views to
find out the most intensive objects in a database. They obviously will
query all rows from statistic views and their impact will only depend
on the sampling frequency. Is it seems reasonable to avoid using
pg_statio_all_tables view by such monitoring tools? But it seems that
the only way to do so is using statistic functions directly in a
sampling query. Is it seems reliable? Maybe we should think about a
little bit different statio view for that? For example, a plain view
for all tables (regular and TOASTs)...
