Prefix_Collection=option
When you convert a database to release 7.2 from a release
of Oracle Rdb prior to release 7.0, you can use the Prefix_
Collection qualifier to specify that sorted index prefix
cardinality collection be Enabled, Enabled Full, or Disabled
for all sysem and user sorted indexes.
The following options are available for use with the Prefix_
Collection qualifier:
o Disabled
Specifies that index prefix cardinality collection is to be
disabled.
o Enabled
Specifies that default collection is performed. The Oracle
Rdb optimizer collects approximate cardinality values for the
index columns to help in future query optimization.
Enabled Estimate
Specifies that prefix cardinality values for all indexes are
to be estimated.
o Enabled Collect
Specifies that prefix cardinality values for all indexes are
to be collected by calling the RMU Collect command.
o Full Requests that extra I/O be performed, if required, to
ensure that the cardinality values reflect the key value
changes of adjacent index nodes.
o Full=Estimate
Specifies that prefix cardinality values for all indexes are
to be estimated.
o Full=Collect
Specifies that prefix cardinality values for all indexes are
to be collected by calling the RMU Collect command.
