How to delete column level Stats/Histogram
1. Is there a way to delete a specific column level stats/histogram. The following approach does not work.
alter table abc alter column bg_org_partner set statistics 0;
analyze abc;
select *
FROM pg_stats where tablename in ('abc' ) and attname = 'bg_org_partner';
the most_common_vals remain and most_common_freqs remain the same.
1. Any other ways or workaround such as wiping out a specific table level stat, then restore the stats but minus 1 column. And the future vacuum analyze/analyze will not be updating that specific column stat.
Thank you

You'd have to:
DELETE FROM pg_statistic WHERE starelid = 'abc'::regclass and
staattnum = (SELECT attnum FROM pg_attribute WHERE attrelid =
'abc'::regclass AND attname = 'bg_org_partner');
to get rid of it.

Silly question why did I run into this problem below? Will the autovacuum analyze abc reset it back which I don't want it to.
DELETE FROM pg_statistic WHERE starelid = 'abc'::regclass and staattnum = (SELECT attnum FROM pg_attribute WHERE attrelid = 'abc'::regclass AND attname = 'bg_org_partner');
SQL Error [42P01]: ERROR: relation "abc" does not exist
Position: 52
The schema for the abc table will need to be in your search_path.
You'll need to be connected to the correct database too.
