背景
PostgreSQL最低的事务隔离级别是read committed，因此在事务中产生的数据变化，在外部是不可见的，包括auto analyze也是不可见的。
例子：
```
postgres=# show autovacuum;
autovacuum
on
(1 row)
postgres=# show autovacuum_naptime ;
autovacuum_naptime
1s
(1 row)
```
会话A：
postgres=# create table t1(id int, info text);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# begin;
BEGIN
postgres=# insert into t1 select generate_series(1,100000),'test';
INSERT 0 100000
postgres=# insert into t1 select generate_series(1,100000),'test';
INSERT 0 100000
会话B：
postgres=# analyze t1;
ANALYZE
postgres=# select * from pg_stats where attname ='id' and tablename='t1';
schemaname | tablename | attname | inherited | null_frac | avg_width | n_distinct | most_common_vals | most_common_freqs | histogram_bounds | correlation | most_common_elems | most_common_elem_freqs | elem_count_histogram
------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------+-----------+------------+------------------+-------------------+------------------+-------------+-------------------+------------------------+----------------------
(0 rows)
会话A：
postgres=# select * from pg_stats where attname ='id' and tablename='t1';
schemaname | tablename | attname | inherited | null_frac | avg_width | n_distinct | most_common_vals | most_common_freqs | histogram_bounds | correlation | most_common_elems | most_common_elem_freqs | elem_count_histogram
------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------+-----------+------------+------------------+-------------------+------------------+-------------+-------------------+------------------------+----------------------
(0 rows)
在会话A中手工执行完analyze后，生效：
```
postgres=# analyze t1;
ANALYZE
postgres=# select * from pg_stats where attname ='id' and tablename='t1';
schemaname | tablename | attname | inherited | null_frac | avg_width | n_distinct |
most_common_vals
|
most_common_freqs | histogram_bounds | correlatio复制
n | most_common_elems | most_common_elem_freqs | elem_count_histogram

由于隔离级别的原因，会话B依旧不能读到pg_stats的版本
postgres=# select * from pg_stats where attname ='id' and tablename='t1';
schemaname | tablename | attname | inherited | null_frac | avg_width | n_distinct | most_common_vals | most_common_freqs | histogram_bounds | correlation | most_common_elems | most_common_elem_freqs | elem_count_histogram
------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------+-----------+------------+------------------+-------------------+------------------+-------------+-------------------+------------------------+----------------------
(0 rows)
那么这就会导致一个问题。
如果会话中执行了大量的DML，数据发送了较大的变化。或者会话中有新建的临时表，或者普通表，执行计划可能有问题。
这个问题在复杂查询中尤为突出。
例如有比较多的JOIN的查询，虽然数据量可能非常庞大，但是可能由于没有统计信息就走nest loop了。
优化建议：
在事务中的每条DML语句后面，加一条analyze 响应的表的操作。
