Abstract

See full text

A method for more accurately estimating the time required to process a data base query using a selected index. A selected number of the most frequently occurring index key values (38) are collected during an index sequential scan. These most frequency occurring values are stored as percentage frequencies of occurrence in the data base system's catalog (42). Estimated access and processing times (NPAR, NPAS, NCPU) for a given query are calculated based on the stored frequencies where possible. Where the query's search criteria specify values other than the stored most frequently occurring values, those values are assumed to be uniformly distributed.
