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.
