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, (Derek) Sean
