Assuming clean shutdowns the statistics will survive restarts. They would be
wiped when you drop a database and start over, have an unclean shutdown or you
use one of the reset functions...
Yes, stats are permanent, but are not being updated.
We don't use any of the pg_stat_reset functions.
-------------------------------------
I've left the system alone over the weekend.
Here's the timeline:
14th May:
Postgres working ok, 1767 log entries for "automatic analyze", mostly in
database postgres.
03:30 Jenkins deployed an update, resulting in reload of lfm database.
This is where I am getting confused. In your original post you had:
To apply an update, we:
stop the applications that use LFM,
set the user (LFU) to NOLOGIN
kill any left-over connections: select
pg_terminate_backend(pg_stat_activity.pid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE
pg_stat_activity.datname = 'lfm' and usename = 'lfu';
drop the existing reference database using the dropDb utility.
reload the new file using pg_restore and the postgres super user.
set the user (LFU) to LOGIN
In other words DROP DATABASE then CREATE DATABASE and reload the schema
objects and associated data.
Yet your int stats output.txt file has things like the following:
-[ RECORD 3 ]-------+--------------------------------------------------

I am having a hard time figuring out how both of the above can be true.
Dropping and recreating the database would wipe out the statistics.
Summary: since the reload of lfm database on 15th May, the only "automatic
analyze" events logged have been for the lfm database, at the point of reload.
No other stats analyze seems to have taken place, on any database on the server
since that point, even partitions with over a million rows.
The above is confusing also. In your original post you only referred to
the postgres and lfm databases.
What other databases are you referring to?
As to partitions are you referring to partitions of tables in the lfm
database or something else?
Apart from that, Postgres appears to be working normally.
I'm sure that another restart of Postgres will restore the auto analyze, until
the next pg_restore of lfm.
So what's going on? How is it that we're breaking this important function that
we shouldn't be able to have any effect on?
