A system performs database management. The system receives a request for a query of a plurality of tables under a join condition on an attribute and determines a uniform mapping that maps a domain of the attribute into a set of numbers, where the domain of the attribute includes all attribute values taken by the attribute in the tables. Then, for a row in a table, the system includes the row into a synopsis of the table if the row includes an attribute value that is mapped by the uniform mapping to a number less than an inclusion probability associated with the table. The system obtains a plurality of synopsis for the tables by repeating the including for all rows in the table and for all tables, and determines, based on the plurality of synopsis, an estimate join size of the tables under the join condition.
