Hi Alex,
Thanks for excellent research.
I've ran your queries against Trustly's production database and I can
confirm your findings, the results are similar:
WITH ...
SELECT count(1),
min(hist_ratio)::real,
avg(hist_ratio)::real,
max(hist_ratio)::real,
stddev(hist_ratio)::real
FROM stats2
WHERE histogram_bounds IS NOT NULL;
-[ RECORD 1 ]----
count | 2814
min | 0.193548
avg | 0.927357
max | 1
stddev | 0.164134
WHERE distinct_hist < num_hist
-[ RECORD 1 ]----
count | 624

SELECT schemaname ||'.'|| tablename ||'.'|| attname || (CASE inherited

mcv_frac, (mcv_frac / (1 - null_frac))::real AS nonnull_mcv_frac,

LIMIT 1;
