PostgreSQL autovacuum Statistic Level For Table Column

Question

We can list tables' s custom options why checking pg_class' s reloptions columns. For example; like this post.

select relname, reloptions
from pg_class
where relname = 'a_table';

Yet, I couldn' t find anything in official documents and on the internet to list custom statistic settings for columns after altering them like this:

ALTER TABLE name ALTER [ COLUMN ] column_name SET STATISTICS integer;

How can we list those settings?

Answer 1

The statistics target is not a property of the table, but a property of the column. Therefore, you will find it in the metadata table of columns, which is pg_attribute. The column in question is attstattarget. Other per-column settings can be found in attoptions.
