Follow-up work on Murtuza Zabuawala's Extended Statistics node, who has moved on, so the remaining review findings are addressed here. The schema diff integration could not work at all: get_sql_from_diff() read source_params, target_params and comp_status from its keyword arguments, none of which the schema diff engine passes, so every comparison involving a statistics object fell through to a subscript of None. It now follows the contract the engine actually uses, delegating to sql() and delete() so that check_precondition binds the connection to the side being generated, and honouring target_schema. The properties query joined pg_statistic_ext_data unconditionally, which only a superuser may read: not even pg_read_all_stats grants access, so the node failed outright for everybody else. The values ANALYZE collected are now selected only when has_table_privilege() says we may, and the dialog hides the Computed Statistics group when we may not. From PostgreSQL 15 that catalog holds a row per stxdinherit variant, which listed inheritance parents twice, so 15_plus takes the non-inherited row in preference to the inherited one a partitioned parent has. DROP STATISTICS took its CASCADE before the object name, which is a syntax error, so Drop (Cascade) could never have worked. Definitions mixing columns and expressions lost their columns, because the ON clause emitted one or the other: the SQL tab, and the CREATE schema diff generates, described only part of the object. The expression list is also no longer split on commas, which mangled anything with an argument list such as coalesce(col1, col2) and made the SQL preview disagree with what was executed; it is passed to the server as entered. Also: the statistics target is no longer silently ignored on PG 14 and 15, where the default template had no SET STATISTICS; an owner chosen at create time is applied rather than ignored; the reverse engineered SQL carries the owner and a non-default statistics target; a name omitted on PG 16+ no longer leaves the tree without the new node; the dialog seeds the schema from the tree rather than from the node's own label, defaults the owner, and requires a name only below PG 16; the expressions are visible in the Properties view; the ANALYZE values and the raw catalog columns are excluded from schema diff comparison, which otherwise reported identical objects as different; and request.form is copied before keys are added to it. Tests cover what was broken: the mixed definition round trip and the modified SQL, a comma bearing expression, a nameless create on PG 16+, cascade delete, the statistics target and the comment, and a schema diff test over two databases asserting that identical objects compare as identical whatever ANALYZE recorded, that the generated SQL describes columns and expressions alike, and that applying it settles every difference. A Jest spec covers the dialog schema. Redundant version buckets are removed: properties.sql was identical in three, and create.sql and update.sql duplicated in one apiece.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/en_US/statistics_dialog.rst`:
- Line 12: Update the PostgreSQL version statement in the extended statistics
documentation to reflect that CREATE STATISTICS requires PostgreSQL 10 or later;
mention PostgreSQL 14 only if the dialog’s product support intentionally imposes
that separate minimum.
- Around line 60-64: Update the statistics dialog documentation to describe
visibility using the current role’s access to pg_catalog.pg_statistic_ext_data:
show the Computed Statistics group when has_ext_data_access permits access, and
hide it otherwise, rather than limiting visibility to superusers.
In
`@web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/statistics/static/js/statistics.js`:
- Around line 103-109: Update getNodeAjaxOptions so useCache:false bypasses both
cache reads and cache writes, ensuring table#get_columns data is always fetched
for the current table when caching is disabled. Preserve existing cache behavior
when useCache is enabled and keep the statistics.js caller unchanged.
In
`@web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/statistics/static/js/statistics.ui.js`:
- Line 167: Update the validation associated with the noEmpty option so an empty
stat_types value is accepted for single-expression statistics, while remaining
required for multivariate statistics. Preserve the PostgreSQL-compatible
template behavior and add test coverage for the empty-stat_types univariate
expression path.
In
`@web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/statistics/templates/statistics/sql/16_plus/create.sql`:
- Around line 16-20: Validate stattarget in the create endpoint before calling
execute_scalar so only integer values reach the SQL templates;
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/statistics/templates/statistics/sql/16_plus/create.sql

- Around line 135-149: Update the request setup in the test around
statistics_utils.api_get so get_call is not executed before the mocking_required
branch. Lazily invoke the appropriate list or detail API call within the active
patch when mocking is required, and otherwise invoke it once in the non-mocked
path, ensuring no request is issued twice.
In `@web/pgadmin/tools/schema_diff/tests/test_schema_diff_statistics.py`:
- Around line 251-261: Update tearDown to close each connection opened by
utils.get_db_connection after utils.drop_database completes, following the
existing connection-cleanup pattern used by execute_sql. Keep the per-database
cleanup loop and ensure cleanup occurs for every connection.

Included review availability: Your plan includes up to 8 reviews per rolling hour; 7 remain after this review.
- getNodeAjaxOptions: bypass the cache read (not just the write) when useCache:false is passed, so the Statistics dialog's column list can't come back stale from another table's cached entry. - Validate stattarget server-side on create as well as update, rejecting non-integer values before they reach the create/update SQL templates; render it through Jinja's |int filter in all four templates as defense in depth. 'DEFAULT' is left untouched so the PostgreSQL 17+ reset-to-default branch stays reachable. - Allow an empty stat_types selection for the expression-only form: PostgreSQL's univariate expression statistics (a single expression, no columns) don't accept a statistics-kind clause at all, so the "at least one type" rule now only applies when columns are involved. Added a positive test case and JS spec coverage for this path. - test_statistics_get.py: build the mocked API call lazily so it isn't fired twice (once unpatched, once patched) when mocking is required. - Close the setUp/tearDown leaks: four statistics test cases now drop their scratch table in tearDown like test_statistics_add.py already did, and the schema-diff statistics test closes each database connection it opens. - Docs: correct the PostgreSQL version statement (CREATE STATISTICS is PG 10+; this dialog targets PG 14+ where expression statistics were added) and describe computed-statistics visibility by privilege rather than by superuser status, matching has_ext_data_access.

Fixes #2018, and continues #9748: Murtuza Zabuawala wrote the Statistics
node, and has since moved on, so this carries his work to completion with
his commits preserved and the review findings addressed on top.
What was wrong
The schema diff integration could not work at all.
get_sql_from_diff()read
source_params,target_paramsandcomp_statusfrom its keywordarguments, and the engine passes none of those, so every comparison
involving a statistics object fell through to subscripting
None. It nowfollows the contract
directory_compareandcompareactually use,delegating to
sql()anddelete()socheck_preconditionbinds theconnection to the side being generated, and honouring
target_schema.The properties query joined
pg_statistic_ext_dataunconditionally,which only a superuser may read: not even
pg_read_all_statsgrantsaccess to it, so the node failed outright for anybody else. The values
ANALYZEcollected are now selected only whenhas_table_privilege()says we may, and the dialog hides the Computed Statistics group when we
may not. From PostgreSQL 15 that catalog holds one row per
stxdinheritvariant, which listed inheritance parents twice, so the
15_plusbucketprefers the non-inherited row and falls back to the inherited one that is
all a partitioned parent has.
DROP STATISTICSplacedCASCADEbefore the object name, which is asyntax error, so Drop (Cascade) could never have worked.
Definitions mixing columns and expressions lost their columns, because
the
ONclause emitted one or the other: both the SQL tab and theCREATEthat schema diff generates described only part of the object.The expression list is also no longer split on commas, which mangled
anything with an argument list such as
coalesce(col1, col2)and madethe SQL preview disagree with what was executed; it goes to the server as
entered.
Smaller things in the same pass: the statistics target was silently
ignored on PG 14 and 15, whose
update.sqlhad noSET STATISTICS; anowner chosen at create time was ignored; the reverse engineered SQL
carried neither the owner nor a non-default statistics target; a name
omitted on PG 16+ left the tree without the new node; the dialog seeded
Schema from the node's own label, so creating from the collection
prefilled it with "Statistics"; the expressions were not visible in the
Properties view; the
ANALYZEvalues and raw catalog columns took partin schema diff comparison, reporting identical objects as different; and
request.formwas mutated in place.Tests
Everything that was broken now has coverage: the mixed definition round
trip and the modified SQL, an expression containing a comma, a nameless
create on PG 16+, cascade delete, the statistics target and the comment,
and a two-database schema diff test asserting that identical objects
compare as identical whatever
ANALYZErecorded, that the generated SQLdescribes columns and expressions alike, and that applying it settles
every difference. A Jest spec covers the dialog schema, including the
PG 16 name gating and the privilege-driven visibility.
Locally, against PostgreSQL 18: 23 statistics tests and 4 schema diff
tests pass, along with 6 Jest tests,
pycodestyleandeslint.Left out deliberately
Extended statistics are not registered in Search Objects, which needs an
entry in
_all_node_typesplus a branch in eachsearch.sql, so it isbetter as its own change than bolted onto this one.
Three redundant version buckets went:
properties.sqlwas byte identicalin three of them, and
create.sqlandupdate.sqlwere duplicated inone apiece.
