PostgreSQL Analyze分区表：主表与子表的统计信息问题

  最近在PostgreSQL的Mail List中参与讨论了一个问题： ANALYZE'ing table hierarchies。

  网友认为在Analyze分区表的时候，只能看到主表的analyze日期更新到最新，但是子表的日期没有变化，他认为analyze应该是在分析主表的时候会将与之相关的子表一起更新。

 

  为此测试了一下，发现无论主表还是子表，需要单独的对其进行analyze才可以更新其最新的统计信息。

  以下是实验部分：

  

music=> create table music(id int,name text,style text);

CREATE TABLE

music=> create table rock (check(style = 'rock')) inherits(music);

CREATE TABLE

music=> create table pop (check(style = 'pop')) inherits(music);

CREATE TABLE

music=> create table classic (check(style = 'classic')) inherits(music);

CREATE TABLE

music=>  create table jazz (check(style = 'jazz')) inherits(music);

CREATE TABLE

music=> \dS+ music

                          Table "eric.music"
