Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for processing queries wherein the query includes a request to access or delete data and accessing metadata associated with the set of data, the metadata defining data characteristics of the set of data and identifying at least sets of data that need or not need to be accessed or deleted based on the metadata without accessing the actual data in the set of data; also methods to optimize processing of some operations based on the collected metadata on data.
