It's been debated before whether pg_dump should append ANALYZE to the end of the load script. It has always been determined that it shouldn't (see archives for arguments). However, an 'Auto-vacuum' process should watch stats and re-analyze the table when the larger of 30% or 1000 rows has been affected (inserts, or deletes mostly). That is probably a better solution overall. -- Rod Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key: http://www.rbt.ca/rbtpub.asc
