I'm putting together a database that has me wondering about the interaction of ANALYZE with indices. I guess the basic question is: are indices affected by the results of ANALYZE.
The particular application I've got is doing a batch insert of lots of records. For performance, I'm dropping the indexes on the table, doing the inserts, then recreating the indexes a then doing a VACUUM ANALYZE. Specifically, I'm wondering if I should do the ANALYZE before or after I recreate the indexes, or whether it matters.
Any feedbackis welcome.
