/*
 *	update_attstats() -- update attribute statistics for one relation
 *
 *		Statistics are stored in several places: the pg_class row for the
 *		relation has stats about the whole relation, and there is a
 *		pg_statistic row for each (non-system) attribute that has ever
 *		been analyzed.	The pg_class values are updated by VACUUM, not here.
 *
 *		pg_statistic rows are just added or updated normally.  This means
 *		that pg_statistic will probably contain some deleted rows at the
 *		completion of a vacuum cycle, unless it happens to get vacuumed last.
 *
 *		To keep things simple, we punt for pg_statistic, and don't try
 *		to compute or store rows for pg_statistic itself in pg_statistic.
 *		This could possibly be made to work, but it's not worth the trouble.
 *		Note analyze_rel() has seen to it that we won't come here when
 *		vacuuming pg_statistic itself.
 *
 *		Note: if two backends concurrently try to analyze the same relation,
 *		the second one is likely to fail here with a "tuple concurrently
 *		updated" error.  This is slightly annoying, but no real harm is done.
 *		We could prevent the problem by using a stronger lock on the
 *		relation for ANALYZE (ie, ShareUpdateExclusiveLock instead
 *		of AccessShareLock); but that cure seems worse than the disease,
 *		especially now that ANALYZE doesn't start a new transaction
 *		for each relation.	The lock could be held for a long time...
