You want a seqscan on a small (couple pages) table, and ANALYZE has a very high overhead on some platforms. Just recording the query plan and actual vs estimated rowcounts would be a good start, though. And useful to DBA's, provided you had some means to query against it. -- Jim Nasby jim@xxxxxxxxx EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)
