Hi Keith,
I think statistics are also reset and not persistent through restarts
when the pg_ctl option "-m immediate" is used when shutting down PG
since it forces recovery mode when starting PG back up. By the way, for
PostgreSQL Aurora, statistics are reset automatically every time aurora
forces PG to restart or reboot or the user selects that option
manually. I reported this as a bug with Aurora a few months ago. They
said it was not a bug, but a feature that the might implement in the
future. YUK.
Regards,
Michael Vitale
