When I am using the following query, I got shared hit=8857.

EXPLAIN (buffers true, analyze) select * from act;
                                                        QUERY PLAN                                                       
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Seq Scan on act  (cost=0.00..6308.82 rows=542312 width=735) (actual time=0.007..516.199 rows=542312 loops=1)
   Buffers: shared hit=8857
 Total runtime: 1004.067 ms

Wherears, when I am using the following query, I got  Buffers: shared hit=416 read=46350
 
 EXPLAIN (buffers true, analyze) select * from crm;
 
                                                          QUERY PLAN                                                          
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Seq Scan on crm  (cost=0.00..21558.94 rows=1688234 width=333) (actual time=0.040..1738.903 rows=1688291 loops=1)
   Buffers: shared hit=416 read=46350
 Total runtime: 3257.872 ms

Could you please tell me why the different that is why I get read for one query and not for others?

Thanks.

I can use EXPLAIN ANALYZE.
explain     (format yaml)   select * from tab1;

But

explain     (format yaml)  analyze  select * from tab1;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "analyze"
LINE 1: explain     (format yaml)  analyze  select * from tab1


BUFFERS:

explain  (buffers true)   select * from tab1;
ERROR:  EXPLAIN option BUFFERS requires ANALYZE

But

explain  (buffers true) analyze  select * from tab1;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "analyze"
LINE 1: explain  (buffers true) analyze  select * from tab1...


Same for COSTS.

Does any of our experts use these options? If yes, please tell me how.


Try putting the ANALYZE inside the parentheses..
eg
EXPLAIN (buffers true, analyze) select * from tab1;
