> Right now for a column to qualify as a unique column it has to meet the
> criteria:
> {code}
> NDV >= numRows
> {code}
> when numRows is 1 this tends to be true ; but numRows is also 1 in cases when
> we are kinda operate in the blind - don't know how many row there are - more
> generatlly: with estimated column statistics.
> As a sideeffect of qualifying all columns to be unique; after a few joins all
> column combinations became unique....so for a join between 3 tables which
> have (i,j,k) columns; then it will allocate {{i*j*k}} triplets of "unique
> column triplets".
