Does analyze works in Function or mulit-commands?

There's an easy way to find out. Try it, and see if you get an error back!

You may find that it isn't possible. If so, you may want to consider a
non-SQL solution; for instance, a shell script that invokes
vacuum/analyze.

[GENERAL] what's difference between vacuum analyze and analyze?

I was asked to write a security definer function to make other user can issue
vacuum and analyze command? Friends in this community said vacuum doesn't
work inside the function or multi command. How about analyze.  I know vacuum
is something much like oracle shrink which is used to reorganize the space
in the disk.  Analyze is used to collect the statistic info of the table.
