This chapter builds on the material covered in <a class="xref" href="using-explain.html" title="14.1. Using EXPLAIN">Section 14.1</a> and <a class="xref" href="planner-stats.html" title="14.2. Statistics Used by the Planner">Section 14.2</a> to show some
additional details about how the planner uses the
system statistics to estimate the number of rows each part of a query might
return. This is a significant part of the planning process,
providing much of the raw material for cost calculation.
</p><p>
The intent of this chapter is not to document the code in detail,
but to present an overview of how it works.
This will perhaps ease the learning curve for someone who subsequently
wishes to read the code.
