Until now, when defining extended statistics, everything except a plain column reference was treated as complex expression. So for example "a" was a column reference, but "(a)" would be an expression. In most cases this does not matter much, but there were a couple strange consequences. For example CREATE STATISTICS s ON a FROM t; would fail, because extended stats require at least two columns. But CREATE STATISTICS s ON (a) FROM t; would succeed, because that requirement does not apply to expressions. Moreover, that statistics object is useless - the optimizer will always use the regular statistics collected for attribute "a". So do a bit more work to identify those expressions referencing a single column, and translate them to a simple column reference. Backpatch to 14, where support for extended statistics on expressions was introduced.

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/.
