I am afraid I do not get you. I mean histograms should be considered when it
comes to increasing number of MCV entries (at least for numeric/timestamp
values). With histogram lower number of entries could be sufficient to get
reasonable accuracy of estimations.I have no idea how to decide between
automatic switch between histograms and MCV. It might sound crazy one could
compute both histograms and MCV and use them both (and pick an average of
two estimations :) )
