Any ideas why?
I would say because the '3000000 rows in sample' where spread out over
all 2133350 pages.
Worth pointing out here is that you must have a custom statistics target
set on log_details to make it want a sample so much larger than the
default. If you feel ANALYZE is taking too long, you should reconsider
whether you need such a large target.
Thanx Tom and Adrian
Yes, there is a custom statistic target of 10000 set, I guess for some
reasons some time ago to overcome a performance problem after upgrade
from 8.3 to 8.4.
Thanx Tom for pointing that out.
Good query to find it out:
SELECT
n.nspname AS schemaname,
CASE
WHEN cl.relkind = 'r' THEN CAST('TABLE' AS VARCHAR(20))
WHEN cl.relkind = 'i' THEN CAST('INDEX' AS VARCHAR(20))
WHEN cl.relkind = 'S' THEN CAST('SEQUENCE' AS VARCHAR(20))
WHEN cl.relkind = 's' THEN CAST('SPECIAL' AS VARCHAR(20))
WHEN cl.relkind = 'v' THEN CAST('VIEW' AS VARCHAR(20))
WHEN cl.relkind = 't' THEN CAST('TOAST TABLE' AS VARCHAR(18))
ELSE null
END AS object_type,
cl.relname,
attname,
attstattarget
FROM
pg_attribute a
LEFT OUTER JOIN pg_class cl ON a.attrelid = cl.oid
LEFT OUTER JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = cl.relnamespace
WHERE
(cl.relkind = 'r' OR cl.relkind = 'i' OR cl.relkind = 't')
AND attnum > 0 -- only regular columns
AND n.nspname = 'public' -- public schema only
AND NOT(relname ILIKE 'pgstatspack_%')
AND cl.relkind = 'r' -- TABLE
AND attstattarget <> -1 -- non default values only
ORDER BY
n.nspname,
cl.relname,
attnum
;
BTW: It looks like that the statistics target is multiplied by 300 to
get the number of rows, is that true (didn't find any documentation
about that)?
