When doing a select like select from t where aid382 and af \\domain\test\1123. For example, if oracle detects that the single table cardinality estimated made by the optimizer is different from the actual number of rows returned when accessing the table, it will automatically create a directive to perform dynamic statistics for the table. Once sql optimizer identifies problematic sql statements, it optimizes the sql and provides replacement code that includes the optimized statement. You can now instruct sql optimizer to ignore a record count mismatch between alternatives and the original sql. It is especially helpful when you intend to diagnose performance issues with a particular statement. Before we talk about the optimization of actual sql queries in oracle, we want to.
