One component of the statistics is the total number of entries in each
table and index, as well as the number of disk blocks occupied by each
table and index. This information is kept in the table
<structname>pg_class</structname> in the columns <structfield>reltuples</structfield>
and <structfield>relpages</structfield>. We can look at it

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.
