Correlated Columns

• Oracle이 Cardinality를 계산할 때 사용하는 공식들의 기본 전제는 Column이 서로 독립적이라는 것이다. Oracle은 이 가정에 위배되는 경우 잘 해석하지 못한다.

-- create object
DROP TABLE T1 PURGE;

CREATE TABLE T1(C1 VARCHAR2(1), C2 INT);

-- create data
INSERT INTO T1
SELECT 'A', 1
FROM   DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 1000
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B', 2
FROM   DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 100
UNION ALL
SELECT 'C', 2
FROM   DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 100
;

COMMIT;

-- gather stats "with" histogram
EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(USER, 'T1', METHOD_OPT => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE SKEWONLY', NO_INVALIDATE => FALSE);

• Histogram이 있기 때문에 정확한 Cardinality를 계산한다.

Exetended Statistics

• 10g까지는 Column들간에 정확한 상호 의존성을 알 수가 없다.
• 11g부터는 Extended Statistics를 이용해 Column들간의 상호 의존성을 통계 정보에 저장 가능하다.
  • EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(USER, 'T1', METHOD_OPT => 'FOR COLUMNS (C1, C2) SIZE SKEWONLY', NO_INVALIDATE => FALSE);
