You are right. I looked at the code, and "vacuumdb" does not process
partitiond tables, even if --analyze-only is specified. I find that
surprising, aince the SQL command ANALYZE (without a table name) will
also collect statistics for partitioned tables.
I think that it would be a good idea to change that behavior.
In particular, it makes a lot of sense to collect statistics for
partitioned tables after a "pg_upgrade".
Attached is a patch to make "vacuumdb --analyze-only" consider
partitioned tables as well.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
Is there a plan to include this patch in future releases/patches of postgres?
Thanks,
