ABSTRACT:
A method for computing clustering factor that is particularly suitable for use with existing indexes. The clustering factor is generated, by first determining clustered storage locations of records in a relation, i.e., locations where the records would be found if they were clustered relative to the attribute (e.g., locations for the records if they were ordered in storage in accordance with the attribute). Then, the actual storage locations of records are correlated to the clustered storage locations, and a clustering statistic is generated based upon the correlation.
