ABSTRACT:
A method that builds column statistics utilizing at least one skew value. The column statistics built using skew values, instead of column statistics built only through random sampling, may be used to more accurately reflect skew values across join networks, and thus enable a query optimizer to better select an access plan that is optimal under current runtime conditions.
