Well I set it to a month, but in any case, scripts are attached.

I have updated this to include two different tests - in the first I =
expanded the test to show that primary keys and indexes are also lost.  =
In the second I show that by adding their re-create statements before =
the re-create for the foreign key, they somehow are there after the =
transaction rollback.

For the first test case, run the following with the attached scripts:
psql -f create.sql
psql -f test.sql

Output:

       Table "test.table2"

As a workaround to this bug, does it make sense to delay all analyzes =
until the end of the transaction?

Thanks,
