/*
* update_attstats() -- update attribute statistics for one relation
*
- * Updates of pg_attribute statistics are handled by over-write,
- * for reasons described above. pg_statistic rows are added normally.
+ * Statistics are stored in several places: the pg_class row for the
+ * relation has stats about the whole relation, the pg_attribute rows
+ * for each attribute store "dispersion", and there is a pg_statistic
+ * row for each (non-system) attribute. (Dispersion probably ought to
+ * be moved to pg_statistic, but it's not worth doing unless there's
+ * another reason to have to change pg_attribute.) The pg_class values
+ * are updated by VACUUM, not here.
+ *
+ * We violate no-overwrite semantics here by storing new values for
+ * the dispersion column directly into the pg_attribute tuple that's
+ * already on the page. The reason for this is that if we updated
+ * these tuples in the usual way, vacuuming pg_attribute itself
+ * wouldn't work very well --- by the time we got done with a vacuum
+ * cycle, most of the tuples in pg_attribute would've been obsoleted.
+ * Updating pg_attribute's own statistics would be especially tricky.
+ * Of course, this only works for fixed-size never-null columns, but
+ * dispersion is.
+ *
+ * pg_statistic rows are just added normally. This means that
+ * pg_statistic will probably contain some deleted rows at the
+ * completion of a vacuum cycle, unless it happens to get vacuumed last.
*
* To keep things simple, we punt for pg_statistic, and don't try
* to compute or store rows for pg_statistic itself in pg_statistic.
