Database statistics are a powerful weapon. They store a vast array of information about the database data that helps identify slow-running queries and allows you to devise an algorithm to optimize query execution.

That is why it is vital to keep the statistics up to date and to understand them well. Therefore, in this article, we are going to look at how to collect statistical information and how to interpret it correctly.
