There's no good reason that the multicolumn stats stuff shouldn't work on booleans. But it looked only for "Var = pseudoconstant" clauses, and it will seldom find those for boolean Vars, since earlier phases of planning will fold "boolvar = true" or "boolvar = false" to just "boolvar" or "NOT boolvar" respectively. Improve dependencies_clauselist_selectivity() to recognize such clauses as equivalent to equality restrictions. This fixes a failure of the extended stats mechanism to apply in a case reported by Vitaliy Garnashevich. It's not a complete solution to his problem because the bitmap-scan costing code isn't consulting extended stats where it should, but that's surely an independent issue. In passing, improve some comments, get rid of a NumRelids() test that's redundant with the preceding bms_membership() test, and fix dependencies_clauselist_selectivity() so that estimatedclauses actually is a pure output argument as stated by its API contract. Back-patch to v10 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/73a4936d-2814-dc08-ed0c-978f76f435b0@gmail.com

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
