Partitioned tables are not processed by autovacuum. Statistics
should be collected by running a manual <command>ANALYZE</command> when it is
first populated, and again whenever the distribution of data in its
partitions changes significantly.
Partitioned tables do not directly store tuples and consequently
are not processed by autovacuum. (Autovacuum does process table
partitions just like other tables.) Unfortunately, this means that
autovacuum does not run <command>ANALYZE</command> on partitioned
tables, and this can cause suboptimal plans for queries that reference
partitioned table statistics. You can work around this problem by
manually running <command>ANALYZE</command> on partitioned tables
when they are first populated, and again whenever the distribution
of data in their partitions changes significantly.
