Please look at the following seemingly atypical behavior of the new
functions:
CREATE TABLE test(id int);

SELECT pg_restore_attribute_stats(
   'relation', 'test'::regclass,
   'attname', 'id'::name,
   'inherited', false);

SELECT pg_restore_attribute_stats(
   'relation', 'test'::regclass,
   'attname', 'id'::name,
   'inherited', false
) FROM generate_series(1, 2);
ERROR:  XX000: tuple already updated by self
LOCATION:  simple_heap_update, heapam.c:4353

Or:
SELECT pg_clear_attribute_stats('test'::regclass, 'id'::name, false)
FROM generate_series(1, 2);
ERROR:  XX000: tuple already updated by self
LOCATION:  simple_heap_delete, heapam.c:3108

Best regards,
Alexander
