On second hand, for almost temp table usage using autovacuum has not benefit. autovacuum check tables once per minute, and working on closed transactions. Lot of times temporary tables are filled inside some batch, and immediately some query is started over this table. It is very low probability to analyze temp table at good time automatically. So only explicit call of ANALYZE is correct solution. Regards Pavel
