Actually, there's another problem here: if we do have row-level stats
turned on, a manual "VACUUM" command will still cause the set of tables
listed in the stats file to grow to include every table in the DB,
whether or not anything interesting is happening to that table. I think
this is probably undesirable. I'm tempted to change pgstat_recv_vacuum
and pgstat_recv_analyze so that they will not create new hash entries,
but only insert the row count if the hash entry already exists. I am a
bit worried that I might be missing something about possible
interactions with autovacuum though. I see that autovac skips vacuuming
tables that have no hash entry ... is there some circular reasoning
going on there?
