优化必懂概念-基数

1、概念
某一列唯一键的数量叫做基数。

2、举例
性别列，该列只分男女，so 这一列的基数为2。

3、测试
SYS@orcl> select count(distinct owner),count(distinct object_id),count(*) from t;

COUNT(DISTINCTOWNER) COUNT(DISTINCTOBJECT_ID)   COUNT(*)
-------------------- ------------------------ ----------
                  20                    83962      83962

    t表的总行数为83962，owner列的基数为20，object_id的基数83962，说明owner列有大量的重复值。object_id很有可能是主键。

    SYS@orcl> select owner,count(*) from t group by owner order by 2 desc;

OWNER                            COUNT(*)
