How does the planner determine plan_rows ?

Hi,

I created some empty tables and run ` EXPLAIN ANALYZE` on `SELECT * `. I found
the results have different row numbers, but the tables are all empty.

=# CREATE TABLE t1(id INT, data INT);
=# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM t1;
Seq Scan on t1 (cost=0.00..32.60 rows=2260 width=8) (actual
time=0.003..0.003 rows=0 loops=1)

=# CREATE TABLE t2(data VARCHAR);
=# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM t2;
Seq Scan on t2 (cost=0.00..23.60 rows=1360 width=32) (actual
time=0.002..0.002 rows=0 loops=1)

=# CREATE TABLE t3(id INT, data VARCHAR);
=# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM t3;
Seq Scan on t3 (cost=0.00..22.70 rows=1270 width=36) (actual
time=0.001..0.001 rows=0 loops=1)

I found this behavior unexpected. I'm still trying to find out how/where the planner
determines the plan_rows. Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you,
Donald Dong
