In case you meant "How large is that table that took 2.5 minutes to
analyze?":
cir=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('"CaseHist"'));pg_size_pretty
----------------44 GB
(1 row)
I've started a database analyze, to see how long that takes. Even
if each table took 1/4 second (like on the small database) with over
500 user tables, plus the system tables, it'd be 15 minutes. I'm
guessing it'll run over an hour, but I haven't timed it lately, so
-- we'll see.
