F.31. online_analyze — update statistics after INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or SELECT INTO operations #

The online_analyze module provides a set of features that immediately update statistics after INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or SELECT INTO operations for the affected tables.

F.31.1. Module Loading #

To use online_analyze module, load the shared library:

LOAD 'online_analyze';

F.31.2. Module Configuration #

You can configure online_analyze using the following custom variables (default values are shown):

  • online_analyze.enable = on

    Enables online_analyze.

  • online_analyze.verbose = on

    Executes ANALYZE VERBOSE.

    Note

    Since verbose is a reserved SQL key word, this parameter has to be double-quoted when used in SQL queries. For example:

    ALTER SYSTEM SET "online_analyze.verbose" = 'off';

  • online_analyze.scale_factor = 0.1

    Fraction of table size to start online analysis (similar to autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor).

  • online_analyze.threshold = 50

    Minimum number of row updates before starting online analysis (similar to autovacuum_analyze_threshold).

  • online_analyze.min_interval = 10000

    Minimum time interval between ANALYZE calls per table, in milliseconds.

  • online_analyze.table_type = "all"

    Type(s) of tables for online analysis. Possible values are: all, persistent, temporary, none.

  • online_analyze.exclude_tables = ""

    List of tables to exclude from online analysis.

  • online_analyze.include_tables = ""

    List of tables to include in online analysis (online_analyze.include_tables overrides online_analyze.exclude_tables).

  • online_analyze.local_tracking = off

    Enables per-backend tracking for temporary tables by online_analyze. When this variable is set to off, online_analyze uses the default system statistics for temporary tables.

  • online_analyze.lower_limit = 0

    Minimum number of rows in a table required to trigger online_analyze.

  • online_analyze.capacity_threshold = 100000

    Maximum number of temporary tables to store in local cache.
