My case appears to be pretty common, i.e. 1 small and 1 large table with RI
constraint between them. In order to delete a record from the small table, the
large table must not have records that are dependent on the deleted row.
I think other RDBMSs simply use preset value instead of partial table scan when
there's not enough stat info. Might be a better way.
Thanks
