Optimizer Method Configuration

Updated on 2022-07-29 GMT+08:00

These configuration parameters provide a crude method of influencing the query plans chosen by the query optimizer. If the default plan chosen by the optimizer for a particular query is not optimal, a temporary solution is to use one of these configuration parameters to force the optimizer to choose a different plan. Better ways include adjusting the optimizer cost constants, manually running ANALYZE, increasing the value of the default_statistics_target configuration parameter, and adding the statistics collected in a specific column using ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS.

enable_fstream
