I. 통계정보 조작

I.1. 개념 설명

  • 통계정보를 조작하여 Cardinality를 제어하는 기법
  • Cardinality는 Selectivity에 의해 결정되고, Selectivity는 주로 Density에 의해 결정됨
  • 따라서, Density를 조작할 수 있으면 Cardinality를 조작할 수 있으며 Histogram 또한 마찬가지임

I.2. 테스트 Object 생성

  • 'T1' 테이블에 -1 값이 9000로우가 있음에도 불구하고 통계정보에서는 이를 모르기 때문에 E-Rows를 1로 계산을 했다.
    만약 정확히 9000로우를 알고 있었다면 Hash Join을 사용했을 것이다.
    이를 해결하기 위해서는 히스토그램 생성과 통계정보 조작 2가지 방법이 있다.

I.7. 통계정보 조작 시 주의할 점

  • 변화가 전역적이다. 통계 정보를 참조하는 Query가 여러 개 존재할 수 있으며,
    통계정보의 변경은 이들 Query 모두에 대해 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
  • 통계 정보에 대한 지식이 필수적이다.
  • Oracle 10g 부터는 통계 정보를 변경해도 그 결과가 Query에 즉시 반영되지 않는다.
    DBMS_STATS.GATHER_XXX_STTS Procedure의 NO_INVALIDATE Parameter 때문이다.
    Oracle 9i까지는 FALSE, 즉 통계 정보 변경시 Query가 모두 Invalidate 된다.
    하지만 Oracle 10g 부터는 AUTO로 변경되었다. 이 경우 Oracle은 통계 정보 변경 후
    5시간(_OPTIMIZER_INVALIDATION_PERIOD Parameter)에 걸쳐 서서히 Query들이 Invalidation 되게끔 제어한다.
    만일 즉시 반영을 원한다면 NO_INVALIDATE Parameter의 값을 FALSE로 변경해야 한다.

II. CARDINALITY Hint

II.1. 개념설명

  • CARDINALITY Hint를 사용하여 Cardinality를 직접 제어할 수 있다.

  • T1.C2 = 'A' AND T1.C3 = 'b' 인 로우는 0건이지만 예상로우는 2750이 나왔다.
    이렇게 나온 이유는 앞에서 살펴본것처럼 Correlated Columns에 대한 통계정보가 없기 때문
  • 이를 해결하기 위해서 CARDINALITY Hint를 사용함.

III. OPT_ESTIMATE Hint

III.1. 개념설명

  • OPT_ESTIMATE Hint는 CARDINALITY Hint의 10g버전
  • OPT_ESTIMATE Hint는 (CARDINALITY * SCALE_ROWS(사용자 지정값))이 CARDINALITY가 되도록 하는 방법
  • OPT_ESTIMATE Hint는 Undocumented Hint로 SQL Profile을 구현하기 위해 추가됨
