Classified as: {OPEN} > I am having a hard time figuring out how both of the above can be true. > Dropping and recreating the database would wipe out the statistics. We have multiple databases on the one Postgres server. The 'postgres' database contains our main application, with tables in schema 'a'. We have two other databases, one of which is 'lfm'. In PgAdmin, there is Databases (3), then those database names. As the superuser, I can connect to any of these databases. When we drop database lfm, and recreate it using pg_restore, the stats collection dies, for all databases on the server: 'postgres', 'lfm', 'lfm2' I haven't dropped database 'postgres' So the existing stats on tables in the 'postgres' database remain, but no further stats are collected.
