Try something like this where attname is the column name and tablename is, well, the tablename: db=> select most_common_vals from pg_stats where tablename = 'region' and attname = 'province'; most_common_vals ------------------ {ON,NB,QC,BC} Note that there's a second column most_common_freqs and to do this would really require doing a weighted average based on the frequencies. -- greg
