Abstract

See full text

In processing a query including a selection criterion on one or more attributes of a relation, a prior statistic generated for a prior different selection criterion on the same one or more attributes of the relation, may be revalidated for use in processing the query, based upon a measure of the entropy of the one or more attributes of the relation. In this way, the re-validation of statistics may be performed more efficiently. Furthermore, attribute groups of a relation for which multi-dimensional indexes are to be formed, are identified by evaluating the correlation of attribute values within tuples of the relation and determining that the correlation of attribute values within tuples of the relation exceeds a threshold.
