Tom Lane 3d3bf62f30 Omit null rows when setting the threshold for what's a most-common value.
As with the previous patch, large numbers of null rows could skew this
calculation unfavorably, causing us to discard values that have a
legitimate claim to be MCVs, since our definition of MCV is that it's
most common among the non-null population of the column.  Hence, make
the numerator of avgcount be the number of non-null sample values not
the number of sample rows; likewise for maxmincount in the
compute_scalar_stats variant.

Also, make the denominator be the number of distinct values actually
observed in the sample, rather than reversing it back out of the computed
stadistinct.  This avoids depending on the accuracy of the Haas-Stokes
approximation, and really it's what we want anyway; the threshold should
depend only on what we see in the sample, not on what we extrapolate
about the contents of the whole column.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
