just before or after adding an index to a table.
For example, when a few percents of records in a table have been added, updated or deleted. when the contents of a table has changed significantly.You may want to run ANALYZE in these situations: It also doesn't block the table - other queries may read from the table while ANALYZE is running. It deals only with table/column contents.
Postgresql commands with examples update#
Note that, in PostgreSQL, ANALYZE command doesn't read or update indexes.
ANALYZE collects statistics for all table in the current database. ANALYZE users (id, display_name) collects statistics for id and display_name columns of users table. ANALYZE VERBOSE users does exactly the same plus prints progress messages. ANALYZE users collects statistics for users table. The PostgreSQL query planner then uses that data to generate efficient execution plans for queries. PostgreSQL ANALYZE command collects statistics about specific table columns, entire table, or entire database. Let's take a quick look at each of PostgreSQL database maintenance commands to understand what they do and when to use them. To help developers and database administrators deal with these issues, PostgreSQL has a few commands: ANALYZE, VACUUM, REINDEX. corrupted indexes, which means query planner can't generate efficient query execution plans for them and as a result DB performance degrades over time. table and index bloat, which means they occupy way more disk space and memory than actually required. Large and heavily updated database tables in PostgreSQL often suffer from two issues:
