Tomas Vondra 29cf61ade3 Consider fillfactor when estimating relation size
When table_block_relation_estimate_size() estimated the number of tuples
in a relation without statistics (e.g. right after load), it did not
consider fillfactor when calculating density. With non-default
fillfactor values, this may result in significant overestimate of the
number of tuples - up to 10x with the minimum 10% fillfactor. This may
have unexpected consequences, e.g. when creating hash indexes.

This considers the current fillfactor value in the "no statistics" code
path.  If the fillfactor changes after loading data into the table, the
estimate may be off. But that seems much less likely than changing the
fillfactor before the data load.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
