Description

The ANALYZE TABLES statement collects statistics about all the tables in a specified database to be used by the query optimizer to find a better query execution plan.

Syntax

ANALYZE TABLES [ { FROM | IN } database_name ] COMPUTE STATISTICS [ NOSCAN ]

Parameters

  • { FROM | IN } database_name

    Specifies the name of the database to be analyzed. Without a database name, ANALYZE collects all tables in the current database that the current user has permission to analyze.

  • [ NOSCAN ]

    Collects only the table's size in bytes (which does not require scanning the entire table).

Examples

CREATE DATABASE school_db;
USE school_db;

CREATE TABLE teachers (name STRING, teacher_id INT);
INSERT INTO teachers VALUES ('Tom', 1), ('Jerry', 2);

CREATE TABLE students (name STRING, student_id INT, age SHORT);
INSERT INTO students VALUES ('Mark', 111111, 10), ('John', 222222, 11);

ANALYZE TABLES IN school_db COMPUTE STATISTICS NOSCAN;
