Zusammenfassung:In one embodiment, a method for improving cardinality estimation of a join predicate between a fact table and an overloaded dimension table is provided. The method includes receiving a dimension table and a fact table in a join predicate of one or more SQL statements. The method further includes identifying a majority of records in the fact table that refer to a subset of records in the dimension table. The method further includes computing a filter factor of the join predicate between the dimension table and the fact table. The method further includes creating a statistical view using one or more relevant portions of the dimension table that are referred to by the fact table.
