May be introducing something like 'AutoAnalyze' threshold will help? I mean
that any insert/update/delete statement that changes more then x% of table
(and no less then y records) must do analyze right after it was finished.
Defaults like x=50 y=10000 should be quite good as for me.
That would actually be a pessimization for many real world cases.  Consider:

COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
SELECT
If all the copies are ~ same in size and large this will make it:

COPY
ANALYZE
COPY
ANALYZE
COPY
COPY
ANALYZE
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
ANALYZE
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
SELECT

instead of

COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
COPY
ANALYZE (manual, if one is clever enough)
SELECT

So, yes this will add 3 more analyze, but
1) Analyze is pretty cheap comparing to large data loading. I'd say this would add few percent of burden. And NOT doing analyze manually before select can raise select costs orders of magnitude. 2) How often in real world a single table is loaded in many COPY statements? (I don't say it's not often, I really don't know). At least for restore it is not the case, is not it? 3) default thresholds are things to discuss. You can make x=90 or x=200 (latter will make it run only for massive load/insert operations). You can even make it disabled by default for people to test. Or enable by default for temp tables only (and have two sets of thresholds) 4) As most other settings, this threshold can be changed on up to per-query basis.

P.S. I would also like to have index analyze as part of any create index process.

Best regards, Vitalii Tymchyshyn
