Hi all,

I want to find out how PG gets rows when it explains a query.

For example, when I issue:

explain select count(*) from pg_class where relname='pg_class';

QUERY PLAN

--------------------------------------------------------------

Aggregate (cost=4.55..4.55 rows=1 width=0)

-> Seq Scan on pg_class (cost=0.00..4.55 rows=1 width=0)

Filter: (relname = 'pg_class'::name)

(3 rows)

Where and how PG get "rows=1"?

Thank you!
