Re: Re: Density statistic calculation in case of histogram

One question: You have mentioned that CBO classifies at run-time the histogram type as it's stored in DD using a heuristic. As per my knowledge, based on NDV and #Buckets requested, CBO decides whether to create HB or Freq histogram and save the type in data dictionary, which is visible through dba_tab_columns.histogram column.

Please correct me!
