optimizer对于cardinality值的估算是否准确关系到能否生成最优的执行计划，而cardinality值估算的准确性又取决于SQL中各个对象的统计信息是否完整、是否能真实反映出对象的数据分布情况。因此使用何种方法收集统计信息是很有讲究的：对于数据倾斜度较大的表开启histogram，在此基础上如果有多个列存在相关性，那么multicolumns statistics又是一个更好的选择，下面用实验来证明multicolumns statistics的独到之处
###创建测试用表
drop table cgtest1;
create table cgtest1 (c1 number,c2 varchar2(2),c3 varchar2(20)) tablespace ts_info_dat_01;
declare
begin
for i in 1..5000 loop
insert into cgtest1 values(1,'AA',dbms_random.string('l',20));
insert into cgtest1 values(2,'BB',dbms_random.string('l',20));
insert into cgtest1 values(3,'CC',dbms_random.string('l',20));
insert into cgtest1 values(4,'DD',dbms_random.string('l',20));
end loop;
commit;
end;
/
insert into cgtest1 values(11,'A','AAAAAAA');
insert into cgtest1 values(22,'B','BBBBBBB');
insert into cgtest1 values(33,'C','CCCCCCC');
insert into cgtest1 values(44,'D','DDDDDDD');
commit;

上面的两个查询中cardinality计算方法：num_rows*(1/num_distinct_c1)*(1/num_distinct_c2)=312.56，和执行计划里的313吻合，因为没有收集列的histogram信息所以optimizer估算返回行数和实际返回行数还是有不少差距，下面对c1、c2列收集histogram
###收集c1、c2列的直方图后重新执行上面两个查询
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=>'ad',tabname=>'cgtest1',method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1 FOR COLUMNS c1 size skewonly,c2 size skewonly');

optimizer里的rows是这样预估出来的:num_rows*(5000/20004)*(5000/20004)=20004*0.0624=1248.2496，相比313更接近于真实值5000，可见有了histogram之后的估算更加准确了

收集了histogram后的cardinality值比没有histogram的情况虽然更接近真实值，但还是有不少差距，optimizer能否统计出更加精确的cardinality，轮到multicolumns statistics(多列统计)出场了，多列统计(multicolumns statistics)又叫列组统计(column group statistics)，可以根据列与列之间的相关性将相关程度高的几列划入column group，之后的统计信息就是基于这个column group进行收集，本例cgtest1表里的c1、c2两个字段就具有一定的相关性，例如c1=1的字段只和c2='AA'的字段组合成一行，c1=1的字段不会和除了c2='AA'以外的值组合成一行，这就是c1、c2之间存在明显的相关性，所以c1和c2可以构成一个column group来形成更精确的统计信息，对column group收集统计信息的方法有两种：
1、采纳系统检测工作负载后给出的建议值后收集统计，如果DBA对表里数据构成情况及表中哪些列具有相关性事先不知道的情况下可以采用这种方法，oracle会根据当前的负载给出哪些表里的哪几个列之间存在相关性的建议，DBA如果采纳这个建议就可以在这几个列上创建出column group
2、手动创建column group后再收集统计信息，对表中具有相关性的列心知肚明，就可以使用手动创建的方法
下面简要介绍一下这两种方法：
###方法1：采纳系统检测工作负载后给出的建议值来生成column group
这个方法里又有两种选择，既可以让oracle针对特定的SQL语句来评估是否有创建column groups的必要，也可以从sql cursor cache、auto workload repository等已经生成的负载里兜取已经执行过的SQL语句来评估是否可以创建column groups
---针对select count(*) from cgtest1 where c1=1 and c2='AA'让oracle生成创建column group的建议
exec dbms_stats.seed_col_usage(NULL,NULL,TIME_limit=>100);
explain plan for select count(*) from cgtest1 where c1=1 and c2='AA';
set long 20000
set pagesize 100
select dbms_stats.report_col_usage(ownname=>'AD',tabname=>'cgtest1') from dual;

###生成了column group statistics之后我们再次执行一开始的那句sql：select count(*) from cgtest1 where c1=1 and c2='AA'，看看是否能帮助optimizer算出更精确的cardinality

总结：如果表中的数据倾斜度较大，那么收集histogram能最大程度的帮助optimizer计算出准确的cardinality，从而避免产生次优的执行计划；再进一步，如果存在倾斜的多个列共同构成了predicate里的等值连接且这些列间存在较强的列相关性的话，生成带有直方图的multicolumns statistics是一个上佳的选择，能够最大程度的帮助optimizer准确预测出cardinality。

收集了histogram后的cardinality值比没有histogram的情况虽然更接近真实值，但还是有不少差距，optimizer能否统计出更加精确的cardinality，轮到multicolumns statistics(多列统计)出场了，多列统计(multicolumns statistics)又叫列组统计(column group statistics)，可以根据列与列之间的相关性将相关程度高的几列划入column group，之后的统计信息就是基于这个column group进行收集，本例cgtest1表里的c1、c2两个字段就具有一定的相关性，例如c1=1的字段只和c2='AA'的字段组合成一行，c1=1的字段不会和除了c2='AA'以外的值组合成一行，这就是c1、c2之间存在明显的相关性，所以c1和c2可以构成一个column group来形成更精确的统计信息，对column group收集统计信息的方法有两种：
1、采纳系统检测工作负载后给出的建议值后收集统计，如果DBA对表里数据构成情况及表中哪些列具有相关性事先不知道的情况下可以采用这种方法，oracle会根据当前的负载给出哪些表里的哪几个列之间存在相关性的建议，DBA如果采纳这个建议就可以在这几个列上创建出column group
2、手动创建column group后再收集统计信息，对表中具有相关性的列心知肚明，就可以使用手动创建的方法
下面简要介绍一下这两种方法：
###方法1：采纳系统检测工作负载后给出的建议值来生成column group
这个方法里又有两种选择，既可以让oracle针对特定的SQL语句来评估是否有创建column groups的必要，也可以从sql cursor cache、auto workload repository等已经生成的负载里兜取已经执行过的SQL语句来评估是否可以创建column groups
---针对select count(*) from cgtest1 where c1=1 and c2='AA'让oracle生成创建column group的建议
exec dbms_stats.seed_col_usage(NULL,NULL,TIME_limit=>100);
explain plan for select count(*) from cgtest1 where c1=1 and c2='AA';
set long 20000
set pagesize 100
select dbms_stats.report_col_usage(ownname=>'AD',tabname=>'cgtest1') from dual;

注：dbms_stats.seed_col_usage也可以从sql tuning set里分析出column group的候选对象，用法如下
---从sql cursor cache里兜取出语句部分语句让oracle来评估(需要先建立sql tuning set)

---或者一步到位：直接对c1、c2列执行统计信息收集，同时也会生成column group
EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats('ad','cgtest2',method_opt=>'for columns (c1,c2) size skewonly');
###生成了column group statistics之后我们再次执行一开始的那句sql：select count(*) from cgtest1 where c1=1 and c2='AA'，看看是否能帮助optimizer算出更精确的cardinality

总结：如果表中的数据倾斜度较大，那么收集histogram能最大程度的帮助optimizer计算出准确的cardinality，从而避免产生次优的执行计划；再进一步，如果存在倾斜的多个列共同构成了predicate里的等值连接且这些列间存在较强的列相关性的话，生成带有直方图的multicolumns statistics是一个上佳的选择，能够最大程度的帮助optimizer准确预测出cardinality。
