Added to new values to the server variable use_stat_tables.
The values are COMPLEMENTARY_FOR_QUERIES and PREFERABLY_FOR_QUERIES.
Both these values don't allow to collect EITS for queries like
analyze table t1;
To collect EITS we would need to use the syntax with persistent like
analyze table t1 persistent for columns (col1,col2...) index (idx1, idx2...) / ALL
Changing the default value from NEVER to PREFERABLY_FOR_QUERIES.
Renamed the system variable optimizer_use_stat_tables to use_stat_tables.
This variable now has only 3 possible values:
'never', 'complementary', 'preferably'.
If the server has been launched with
--use-stat-tables='complementary'|'preferably'
then the statictics tables can be employed by the optimizer and by the
ANALYZE command.
