"Cumulative statistics are collected in shared memory. Every PostgreSQL
process collects statistics locally, then updates the shared data at
appropriate intervals. When a server, including a physical replica,
shuts down cleanly, a permanent copy of the statistics data is stored in
the pg_stat subdirectory, so that statistics can be retained across
server restarts. In contrast, when starting from an unclean shutdown
(e.g., after an immediate shutdown, a server crash, starting from a base
backup, and point-in-time recovery), all statistics counters are reset."
