No. Of course, if one of its columns were an expression, then that would be of interest for ANALYZE. There has been some talk of collecting column-correlation statistics for sets of columns listed in multi-column indexes. So it's possible that in some future PG version, creating a multi-column index will be a reason to re-ANALYZE. But it isn't today. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
