If not, how MySQL database create an execution plan? Does the MySQL update indexes and statistic with every UPDATE and INSERT?

    ANALYZE TABLE analyzes and stores the key distribution for a table. During the analysis, the table is locked with a read lock for MyISAM, BDB, and InnoDB. This statement works with MyISAM, BDB, InnoDB, and NDB tables.
