The `ANALYZE TABLE` statement collects statistics about one specific table or all the tables in one specified database, that are to be to find a better query execution plan. These statistics are stored in the catalog. ```sql ANALYZE TABLE tableidentifier [ partitionspec ] COMPUTE STATISTICS [ NOSCAN | FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] | FOR ALL COLUMNS ] ``` ```sql ANALYZE TABLES [ { FROM | IN } database_name ] COMPUTE STATISTICS [ NOSCAN ] ``` table_identifier* Specifies a table name, which may be optionally qualified with a database name. Syntax: `[ databasename. ] tablename` partition_spec* An optional parameter that specifies a comma separated list of key and value pairs for partitions. When specified, partition statistics is returned. Syntax: `PARTITION ( partitioncolname [ = partitioncolval ] [ , ... ] )` { FROM `|` IN } database_name* Specifies the name of the database to be analyzed. Without a database name, `ANALYZE` collects all tables in the current database that the current user has permission to analyze. NOSCAN* Collects only the table's size in bytes (which does not require scanning the entire table). FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] `|` FOR ALL COLUMNS* Collects column statistics for each column specified, or alternatively for every column, as well as table

If no analyze option is specified, both number of rows and size in bytes are collected. ```sql CREATE DATABASE school_db; USE school_db; CREATE TABLE teachers (name STRING, teacher_id INT); INSERT INTO teachers VALUES ('Tom', 1), ('Jerry', 2); CREATE TABLE students (name STRING, studentid INT) PARTITIONED BY (studentid); INSERT INTO students VALUES ('Mark', 111111), ('John', 222222); ANALYZE TABLE students COMPUTE STATISTICS NOSCAN; DESC EXTENDED students; +--+--+-+ | colname| datatype|comment| +--+--+-+ | name| string| null| | student_id| int| null| | ...| ...| ...| | Statistics| 864 bytes| | | ...| ...| ...| +--+--+-+ ANALYZE TABLE students COMPUTE STATISTICS; DESC EXTENDED students; +--+--+-+ | colname| datatype|comment| +--+--+-+ | name| string| null| | student_id| int| null| | ...| ...| ...| | Statistics| 864 bytes, 2 rows| | | ...| ...| ...| +--+--+-+ ANALYZE TABLE students PARTITION (student_id = 111111) COMPUTE STATISTICS; DESC EXTENDED students PARTITION (student_id = 111111); +--+--+-+ | colname| datatype|comment| +--+--+-+ | name| string| null| | student_id| int| null| | ...| ...| ...| |Partition Statistics| 432 bytes, 1 rows| | | ...| ...| ...| +--+--+-+ ANALYZE TABLE students COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR COLUMNS name; DESC EXTENDED students name; +--+-+ | infoname|infovalue| +--+-+ | col_name| name| | data_type| string| | comment| NULL| | min| NULL| | max| NULL| | num_nulls| 0| |distinct_count| 2| | avgcollen| 4| | maxcollen| 4| | histogram| NULL| +--+-+ ANALYZE TABLES IN school_db COMPUTE STATISTICS NOSCAN; DESC EXTENDED teachers; +--+--+-+ | colname| datatype|comment| +--+--+-+ | name| string| null| | teacher_id| int| null| | ...| ...| ...| | Statistics| 1382 bytes| | | ...| ...| ...| +--+--+-+ DESC EXTENDED students; +--+--+-+ | colname| datatype|comment| +--+--+-+ | name| string| null| | student_id| int| null| | ...| ...| ...| | Statistics| 864 bytes| | | ...| ...| ...| +--+--+-+ ANALYZE TABLES COMPUTE STATISTICS; DESC EXTENDED teachers; +--+--+-+ | colname| datatype|comment| +--+--+-+ | name| string| null| | teacher_id| int| null| | ...| ...| ...| | Statistics| 1382 bytes, 2 rows| | | ...| ...| ...| +--+--+-+ DESC EXTENDED students; +--+--+-+ | colname| datatype|comment| +--+--+-+ | name| string| null| | student_id| int| null| | ...| ...| ...| | Statistics| 864 bytes, 2 rows| | | ...| ...| ...| +--+--+-+ ```
