This webinar will give an overview of CREATE STATISTICS in PostgreSQL. This command allows the database to collect multi-column statistics, helping the optimizer understand dependencies between columns, produce more accurate estimates, and better query plans.
The following key topics will be covered during the webinar:
- Why CREATE STATISTICS may be needed at all
- How the command works
- Which cases CREATE STATISTICS already addresses
- What improvements are in the queue for future PostgreSQL versions (either already committed to PostgreSQL 13 or beyond)
