Wait, are we sure this is a PostgreSQL question? I thought 'psql' was a MySQL thing. This is really messing with my head now!

Definitely option B. I remember learning about the ANALYZE command in my PostgreSQL class. It's a great way to keep your database optimized and running smoothly.

Haha, option E is a classic trick question. 'The command does not generate an error, but it doesn't do anything either?' Sounds like a real head-scratcher!

I'm not sure about this one. I was thinking it might be option D, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Guess I need to study up on my PostgreSQL commands!

I'm not sure, but I think it might be B) Collects statistical information related to the content of the table foo. Can someone confirm?

I agree with Aron. It makes sense that ANALYZE foo would collect statistical information about the database foo.

I think option B is the correct answer. The ANALYZE command collects statistical information about the content of a specific table, not the entire database.
