Yes.  There are some poorly-worded places in the docs that make it sound
like they might be completely separate operations, but they're not.

I would like to split out ANALYZE as a separately-callable command at
some point, but we'll no doubt continue to offer the combined "vacuum
analyze" command, if only for backward-compatibility reasons...

 I would just like to check an assumption.  I "vacuum analyze" regularly.  I
 have always assumed that this did a plain vacuum in addition to gathering
 statistics.  Is this true?  The documentation never states explicitly one
 way or the other but it almost suggests that they are independant
 operations.


Yes, it does a vacuum too.
