So I'm nervous that there are surprise downsides I haven't thought of.

My hunch is that ANALYZE is only worth worrying about on much larger databases, in which case I'm OK supporting it as a thoroughly documented power-user feature rather than a default.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1096558279,create-index should run analyze after creating index,

Imagine the following sequence of events:

- User imports a few records, creating the table, using `sqlite-utils insert`
- User runs `sqlite-utils create-index ...` which also creates and populates the `sqlite_stat1` table
- User runs `insert` again to populate several million new records

The user now has a database file with several million records and a statistics table that is wildly out of date, having been populated when they only had a few.

Will this result in surprisingly bad query performance compared to it that statistics table did not exist at all?

If so, I lean much harder towards `ANALYZE` as a strictly opt-in optimization, maybe with the `--analyze` option added to `sqlite-utils insert` top to help users opt in to updating their statistics after running big inserts.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1096558279,create-index should run analyze after creating index,

Options here are:

- Do it anyway. People can tolerate a surprise table appearing when they create an index.
- Only run `ANALYZE` if the user says `sqlite-utils create-index ... --analyze`
- Use the `--analyze` option, but also automatically run `ANALYZE` if they create an index and the database they are working with already has a `sqlite_stat1` table

I'm currently leading towards that third option - @fgregg any thoughts?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1096558279,create-index should run analyze after creating index,
