No ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS being done here, but I do enable stats_row_level and stats_block_level. The table has 3 columns, one of which contains huge text values. Yes, barf. Should I change the data size to 'unlimited'? Or just bump it up? And is it possible to change the data size limit for the postmaster and backends without restarting them?
