PostgreSQL DBA(12) - 統計資訊在計算選擇率上的應用#2

本節以舉例的形式簡單介紹了PG資料庫中統計資訊(頻值MCV和直方圖HISTOGRAM)在多條件查詢計算選擇率上的應用。

一、計算選擇率

測試資料生成指令碼詳見上節,這裡不再累述.

多條件單列查詢

SQL指令碼和執行計劃:

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語句有兩個約束條件:c1 < 2312 和 c1 > 500,是同一個列,統計資訊中並沒有對應">"運算子的統計資訊,PG實際上是把">"轉換為"<="進行處理.
即"c1 < 2312 and c1 > 500"的選擇率="c1 < 2312"選擇率 - "c1 <= 500"選擇率:
c1 < 2312 選擇率=(1-0.0003)*(23+(2312-2287-1)/(2388-2287))/100=.232306525
c1 <= 500 選擇率=(1-0.0003)*(4+(500-416)/(514-416))/100=.048556857
c1 < 2312 and c1 > 500選擇率=.232306525 - .048556857=.183749668,執行計劃中的rows=18375(取整)

多條件多列查詢

SQL指令碼和執行計劃:

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語句有兩個約束條件:c1 < 2312 and c2 = 'TEST'.
由於存在不同的兩個列,運算子是AND,PG計算選擇率的時候使用了機率論的方法,即:
P(A and B)=P(A) x P(B)
此例中,A=c1 < 2312,B=c2='TEST'
從上節已知,P(A)=.232306525,下面計算P(B)
c2 = 'TEST',運算子是"=",使用高頻值進行計算:

從以上統計資訊中可知,'TEST'不在高頻值中,包括高頻值共有1000個不同值,因此c2='TEST'的選擇率=(1-高頻值比例)/(不同值個數 - 高頻值個數),其中高頻值比例=0.0015+0.00146667+0.00143333+0.0014+0.0014+0.0014+0.0014+0.0014=.0114,不同值個數=1000,高頻值個數=6,代入公式,計算得到選擇率P(B)=.000994567
P(A and B)=P(A) x P(B)=.232306525 x .000994567=.000231044,執行計劃中的rows=.000231044*100000=23
