SELECT (ST_SummaryStats(..)).* FROM ...

Should show you "labels" to better understand.

I guess you could run aggregates on the single columns of the stats, like:

WITH stats AS ( SELECT (ST_SummaryStats(..)).* FROM ... )
SELECT sum(count) as count, sum(sum) ... FROM stats;

I guess it could be useful to define an aggregate taking
"SummaryStats" type in input so you could do something like:

SELECT (ST_SummaryStatsAgg(ST_SummaryStats(xx))).* FROM myrast;

--strk;
