# 53.30. pg\_stats\_ext \#

The view `pg_stats_ext` provides access to information about each extended statistics object in the database, combining information stored in the [`pg_statistic_ext`](/internals/catalogs/catalog-pg-statistic-ext.md) and [`pg_statistic_ext_data`](/internals/catalogs/catalog-pg-statistic-ext-data.md) catalogs. This view allows access only to rows of [`pg_statistic_ext`](/internals/catalogs/catalog-pg-statistic-ext.md) and [`pg_statistic_ext_data`](/internals/catalogs/catalog-pg-statistic-ext-data.md) that correspond to tables the user owns, and therefore it is safe to allow public read access to this view.

`pg_stats_ext` is also designed to present the information in a more readable format than the underlying catalogs — at the cost that its schema must be extended whenever new types of extended statistics are added to [`pg_statistic_ext`](/internals/catalogs/catalog-pg-statistic-ext.md).

The maximum number of entries in the array fields can be controlled on a column-by-column basis using the [`ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS`](/reference/sql-commands/sql-altertable.md) command, or globally by setting the [default\_statistics\_target](/server-administration/runtime-config/runtime-config-query.md#GUC-DEFAULT-STATISTICS-TARGET) run-time parameter.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.postgresql.tw/internals/views/view-pg-stats-ext.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
