That is by design. Whenever the server goes into crash recovery on startup, it will clean out the statistics. Since the statistics data is not kept crashsafe, there is no way to know if it's corrupt or not. > and when i try to recover them via an analyze; (on all tables on the > database) the result is nothing... > i have to exexute the analyze commands twice to compute the statistics pg_stat_* are not directly affected by ANALYZE. They collect runtime statistics about activity in the tables, ANALYZE collects statistics about what's *in* the tables (primarily stored in pg_statistics, not pg_stat_*). -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
