The problem is that it also make stats_reset useless for other purposes - which I do consider a problem. Hence this thread. My concern would be mollified if I there were a separate reset timestamp counting the last "database wide" reset time. Your comment about that was something about relation/function level timestamps, which doesn't seem relevant. > Now, maybe other functions aren't doing this?
