In any case, it is hard to see how the present behaviour can be seen as desirable. It obviously causes problems at least for new Postgres users, and we all hope there will be many more of these folks in the future. Thanks for considering this. Mark
Uhmmm... analyze or vacuum on an empty table is fairly pointless. Those utilities are supposed to be used on tables that have data.
So the answer is, use them on tables that have data.
