Just noticed that the postgres stddev is the stddev_sample formula.
There are two different ways to calculate this value.
Their difference is very small with large samle size. It would be nice
to distinguish the two different versions.
I also noticed that oracle has stddev_sample and stddev_population.
This is just a wish list.
