Cardinality Estimation for Having-Clauses

Summary: Proposes estimators for single-table query cardinalities involving HAVING over aggregates (count(*), sum(B), avg(B), min(B), max(B)), handling both with- and without-WHERE scenarios. Gives techniques to compose estimates for conjunctions and disjunctions in HAVING. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
