/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * mvdistinct.c * POSTGRES multivariate ndistinct coefficients * * Estimating number of groups in a combination of columns (e.g. for GROUP BY) * is tricky, and the estimation error is often significant. * The multivariate ndistinct coefficients address this by storing ndistinct * estimates for combinations of the user-specified columns. So for example * given a statistics object on three columns (a,b,c), this module estimates * and stores n-distinct for (a,b), (a,c), (b,c) and (a,b,c). The per-column * estimates are already available in pg_statistic. * * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2019, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * IDENTIFICATION * src/backend/statistics/mvdistinct.c * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #include "postgres.h" #include #include "access/htup_details.h" #include "catalog/pg_statistic_ext.h" #include "utils/fmgrprotos.h" #include "utils/lsyscache.h" #include "lib/stringinfo.h" #include "utils/syscache.h" #include "utils/typcache.h" #include "statistics/extended_stats_internal.h" #include "statistics/statistics.h" static double ndistinct_for_combination(double totalrows, int numrows, HeapTuple *rows, VacAttrStats **stats, int k, int *combination);
