  • Hi,
    Statistics in a given time include info about your data , the info is mainly about the data distibution per colum and the amount of distinct value each column has . this info is being used by the optimizer helping him to used the correct execution plan(with regard to performence) for your data/query + the relevant projectios . when you analyze statistics , vertica will sample your data and build / update the statistics .
  • That make sense. thanks
