本节以举例的形式简单介绍了PG数据库中统计信息(频值MCV和直方图HISTOGRAM)在多条件查询计算选择率上的应用。
一、计算选择率
测试数据生成脚本详见上节,这里不再累述.
多条件单列查询
SQL脚本和执行计划:
testdb=# explain verbose select * from t_int where c1 < 2312 and c1 > 500;
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on public.t_int (cost=0.00..2040.00 rows=18375 width=9)
Output: c1, c2
Filter: ((t_int.c1 < 2312) AND (t_int.c1 > 500))
(3 rows)
SQL语句有两个约束条件:c1 < 2312 和 c1 > 500,是同一个列,统计信息中并没有对应">"操作符的统计信息,PG实际上是把">"转换为"<="进行处理.
即"c1 < 2312 and c1 > 500"的选择率="c1 < 2312"选择率 - "c1 <= 500"选择率:
c1 < 2312 选择率=(1-0.0003)*(23+(2312-2287-1)/(2388-2287))/100=.232306525
c1 <= 500 选择率=(1-0.0003)*(4+(500-416)/(514-416))/100=.048556857
c1 < 2312 and c1 > 500选择率=.232306525 - .048556857=.183749668,执行计划中的rows=18375(取整)
多条件多列查询
SQL脚本和执行计划:
testdb=# explain verbose select * from t_int where c1 < 2312 and c2 = 'TEST';
QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on public.t_int (cost=0.00..2040.00 rows=23 width=9)
Output: c1, c2
Filter: ((t_int.c1 < 2312) AND ((t_int.c2)::text = 'TEST'::text))
(3 rows)
SQL语句有两个约束条件:c1 < 2312 and c2 = 'TEST'.
由于存在不同的两个列,运算符是AND,PG计算选择率的时候使用了概率论的方法,即:
P(A and B)=P(A) x P(B)
此例中,A=c1 < 2312,B=c2='TEST'
从上节已知,P(A)=.232306525,下面计算P(B)
c2 = 'TEST',操作符是"=",使用高频值进行计算:

from pg_statistic
where starelid = 16755
and staattnum = 2;

从以上统计信息中可知,'TEST'不在高频值中,包括高频值共有1000个不同值,因此c2='TEST'的选择率=(1-高频值比例)/(不同值个数 - 高频值个数),其中高频值比例=0.0015+0.00146667+0.00143333+0.0014+0.0014+0.0014+0.0014+0.0014=.0114,不同值个数=1000,高频值个数=6,代入公式,计算得到选择率P(B)=.000994567
P(A and B)=P(A) x P(B)=.232306525 x .000994567=.000231044,执行计划中的rows=.000231044*100000=23
