Hi,

I confirm that my analytic workflows often do the CTAS and VACUUM of the 
relation right after, before the index creation, to mark stuff as all-visible 
for IOS to work. Freezing and marking as visible will help.

Thanks for letting me know there is such a real case in production environment.
I attached the short patch. If no more other concerns, I will log the patch on 
commitfest.

Here is the simple patch,

MatView code already does this and COPY does this if specified. I’m not sure how
does the community think about this. Actually personally I expect more about the
all-visible setting due to TABLE_INSERT_FROZEN since I could easier use index 
only scan
if we create an index and table use CTAS, else people have to use index only 
scan
after vacuum. If people do not expect freeze could we at least introduce a 
option to
specify the visibility during inserting?

Regards,
Paul
