Abstract

A system for automatic statistics creation comprises a query optimizer which automatically generates statistics derived from data in a database and selects an executable procedure from a plurality of procedures that operate on data in a database using the automatically generated statistics.

If the counter breaches a threshold, the automatically generated statistic is removed from the database.
