situations,And of course, statistics don't help as much in completely ad hoc
neverbecause the SQL engine will have no statistics on queries that have
been done.
Statistic information are collected for all SQL tables, physical files and
access path (keyed logical files and SQL indexes). In this way statistics
can help for ad hoc queries in the same way as they do for queries that
already have been executed.
Certainly not 10% of disk space. The space to store the statistics depends
on the number of access paths built over the physical files/tables and the
number of different key values. For each access path the different key
values and the number of rows that satisfy this values are stored, which
is much less space than an index or keyed logical file takes.
