<warning>
<para>
Using <function>pg_stat_reset()</function> also resets counters that
autovacuum uses to determine when to trigger a vacuum or an analyze.
Resetting these counters can cause autovacuum to not perform necessary
work, which can cause problems such as table bloat or out-dated
table statistics. A database-wide <command>ANALYZE</command> is
recommended after the statistics have been reset.
