In which case, why isn't it just faster? Could you send: SELECT * FROM pg_stats WHERE tablename='point' AND attname='domain_class_id' ; .. or if that's too verbose or you don't want to share the histogram or MCV list: SELECT correlation FROM pg_stats WHERE tablename='point' AND attname='domain_class_id' ; Justin ________________________________ DISCLAIMER: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
