When performing ANALYZE on inheritance trees, we collect two samples for each relation - one for the relation alone, and one for the inheritance subtree (relation and its child relations). And then we build statistics on each sample, so for each relation we get two sets of statistics. For regular (per-column) statistics this works fine, because the catalog includes a flag differentiating statistics built from those two samples. But we don't have such flag in the extended statistics catalogs, and we ended up updating the same row twice, triggering this error: ERROR: tuple already updated by self The simplest solution is to disable extended statistics on inheritance trees, which is what this commit is doing. In the future we may need to do something similar to per-column statistics, but that requires adding a flag to the catalog - and that's not backpatchable. Moreover, the current selectivity estimation code only works with individual relations, so building statistics on inheritance trees would be pointless anyway.
