Thread: Analyze during a transaction

I am running Postgres 9.3 on RedHat Linux 5.6.

During the transaction data is deleted from our database, then an analyze is
performed.

If I analyze our database during a transaction and the transaction fails
(rollback occurs), with the table statistics rollback to their original
values?

Yes.

ANALYZE isn't really that special.  It reads data from some tables, does
some math on it, and writes the results to other tables (pg_statistic).
 All of that is subject to transaction semantics.
