From 6c426cd43790d56e6b96c21ae2d968ceb733bdde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2020 17:06:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix race condition in statext_store(). Must hold some lock on the pg_statistic_ext_data catalog *before* we look up the tuple we aim to replace. Otherwise a concurrent VACUUM FULL or similar operation could move it to a different TID, leaving us trying to replace the wrong tuple. Back-patch to v12 where this got broken. Credit goes to Dean Rasheed; I'm just doing the clerical work.
