 B(product(p1,p2)) = B(p1) + R(p1)*B(p2) 

Specified by:

blocksAccessed in interface Plan

Returns:

the estimated number of block accesses

See Also:

Plan.blocksAccessed()

recordsOutput

public int recordsOutput()

Estimates the number of output records in the product. The formula is:

 R(product(p1,p2)) = R(p1)*R(p2) 

Specified by:

recordsOutput in interface Plan

Returns:

the estimated number of output records

Plan.recordsOutput()

distinctValues

public int distinctValues(String fldname)

Estimates the distinct number of field values in the product. Since the product does not increase or decrease field values, the estimate is the same as in the appropriate underlying query.

Specified by:

distinctValues in interface Plan

Parameters:

fldname - the name of a field

Returns:

the estimated number of distinct field values in the output

See Also:

Plan.distinctValues(java.lang.String)
