Ответ на Is there an equivalent for Oracle's user_tables.num_rows  ("Virag Saksena" <virag@auptyma.com>)

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for

I know that number of rows may not be the best indicator, but it is a
heuristic that can be tracked
easily, causing analyze for the first x insert events, and then only doing
it only when an insert event causes
total rows to exceed y % of the optimizer perceived rows

Other more accurate heuristics like relative distribution of columns would
be harder to track in the application,
and I'd rather let the database do that by issuing the analyze

Regards,

Virag
