One component of the statistics is the total number of entries in each

<para>
Most queries retrieve only a fraction of the rows in a table, due
to having <literal>WHERE</> clauses that restrict the rows to be examined.
The planner thus needs to make an estimate of the
<firstterm>selectivity</> of <literal>WHERE</> clauses, that is, the fraction of
rows that match each condition in the <literal>WHERE</> clause. The information
used for this task is stored in the <structname>pg_statistic</structname>
system catalog. Entries in <structname>pg_statistic</structname> are
updated by <command>ANALYZE</> and <command>VACUUM ANALYZE</> commands
and are always approximate even when freshly updated.
