Yes, that's what I was asking. Will those values be in flat files or in the
cataloge?[1] For what I see, it looks like flat files (presumably
postgresql.conf)

Yes, I noticed that. Anyway, the main aplicacion on which we are working has 2
main data alterations.

1) Mass data update (INSERTs and UPDATEs) on 3 o 4 tables. This doesn't happen
very frecuently, so I'm thinking about adding an ANALYZE at the end of the
transaction.
2) Constant data updates and inserts, still at a low rate, on one table. This
could get analyzed every night with the Backup.

The other tables have so little amount of data, and doesn't get updated that
usual, so there's nothing to bother about.

[1]: Yes I know Alvaro, I should be testing 8.1beta, but thank God I have
8.0.3 now. ;-)
