      Specifies the
      <glossterm linkend="glossary-buffer-access-strategy">Buffer Access Strategy</glossterm>
      ring buffer size for <command>ANALYZE</command>.  This size is used to
      calculate the number of shared buffers which will be reused as part of
      this strategy.  <literal>0</literal> disables use of a
      <literal>Buffer Access Strategy</literal>.   When this option is not
      specified, <command>ANALYZE</command> uses the value from
      <xref linkend="guc-vacuum-buffer-usage-limit"/>.  Higher settings can
      allow <command>ANALYZE</command> to run more quickly, but having too
      large a setting may cause too many other useful pages to be evicted from
      shared buffers.  The minimum value is <literal>128 kB</literal> and the
      maximum value is <literal>16 GB</literal>.

     <para>
      The name (possibly schema-qualified) of a specific table to
      analyze.  If omitted, all regular tables, partitioned tables, and
      materialized views in the current database are analyzed (but not
      foreign tables).  If <literal>ONLY</literal> is specified before
      the table name, only that table is analyzed.  If <literal>ONLY</literal>
      is not specified, the table and all its inheritance child tables or
      partitions (if any) are analyzed.  Optionally, <literal>*</literal>
      can be specified after the table name to explicitly indicate that
      inheritance child tables (or partitions) are to be analyzed.

   To analyze a table, one must ordinarily have the <literal>MAINTAIN</literal>
   privilege on the table.  However, database owners are allowed to
   analyze all tables in their databases, except shared catalogs.
