Optimizer Method Configuration ​

These configuration parameters provide a crude method of influencing the query plans chosen by the query optimizer. If the default plan chosen by the optimizer for a particular query is not optimal, a temporary solution is to use one of these configuration parameters to force the optimizer to choose a different plan. Better ways include adjusting the optimizer cost constants, manually running ANALYZE, increasing the value of the default_statistics_target parameter, and increasing the amount of the statistics collected in specific columns using ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS.
