You might want to consider a schema redesign. Usually, if you've got a lot of tables with the same column-set, it's better to combine them into one big table with an additional key column. I'm sure the stats collector runtime is directly tied to having so many tables --- it's trying to keep stats on each one of them individually. regards, tom lane
