Description:
Hi,
We recently added extended statistics on big partitioned tables in
Postgresql 13.8.
While runing analyze tablename or vacuumdb -Z -t tablename populate extended
statistics, the vacuumdb -Z command (without -t) doesn't process the parent
table during the analyze.
We created a script to collecte table names and run the analyze table by
table.
Is it expected ?
The documentation mentions that autovacuum will not process the parent table
due to no data in the parent table.
But vacuumdb should process all tables, right ?
Here is an example :
CREATE TABLE people (
id int not null,
birth_date date not null,
country_code character(2) not null,
name text
) PARTITION BY RANGE (birth_date);
CREATE TABLE people_y2000 PARTITION OF people
FOR VALUES FROM ('2000-01-01') TO ('2001-01-01');
CREATE TABLE people_y2001 PARTITION OF people
FOR VALUES FROM ('2001-01-01') TO ('2002-01-01');
CREATE TABLE people_y2002 PARTITION OF people
FOR VALUES FROM ('2002-01-01') TO ('2003-01-01');
INSERT INTO people (id, birth_date, country_code, name) VALUES (1,
'2000-01-01', 'US', 'John'), (2, '2000-02-02', 'IT', 'Jane'), (3,
'2001-03-03', 'FR', 'Bob');
create statistics people_stat_001 on birth_date, name from people;
vacuumdb -Z -t people : -> ok extende stats collected
vacuumdb -Z : -> no extended stats and analyze much faster
