Hi, While following the discussion on vacuumdb --missing-stats-only [1], I noticed that this option queries pg_statistic and pg_statistic_ext_data. As a result, non-superusers like pg_maintain cannot use it because by default they lack permission to access those catalogs.
I'm not sure whether --missing-stats-only was intended to work for non-superusers, but if so, this restriction is inconvenient. Would it make sense to use the views pg_stats and pg_stats_ext instead? Since the catalogs are only consulted to check whether statistics exist, the views should be sufficient. Thought?
