PgSQL技术内幕-Analyze做的那些事-pg_stat_all_tables

pg_stat_all_tables视图中记录有analyze信息，比如何时做的analyze、表元组个数（活元组、死元组）等。重启后发现该视图中表的统计信息重置不见了，发生了什么？

1、pg_stat_all_tables

先理解下该视图，该视图定义如下。从视图定义可以看到相关统计信息都是通过一系列函数获取的：

我们以n_live_tup这一列为例，看下这个统计信息来自哪里。需要梳理下pg_stat_get_live_tuples函数：可以看到统计信息来自pg_stat_tmp/global.stat（由配置项pgstat_temp_directory控制，默认pg_stat_tmp）

2、正常关闭服务

关闭服务前，统计信息文件位于pg_stat_tmp：

关闭服务后：统计信息文件移动到了pg_stat

3、再次正常启动服务

发现统计信息文件又移动到了，pg_stat_tmp。此时查看pg_stat_all_tables视图，发现统计信息是存在的：

为什么重启后统计信息并没有重置呢？

经分析，在崩溃重启恢复时，会将pg_stat_tmp和pg_stat目录都进行重置，此后重启成功后，因没有统计信息文件，就导致pg_stat_all_tables视图中的信息为空了：
