### Description

The `ANALYZE TABLE` statement collects statistics about the table to be used by the query optimizer to find a better query execution plan.

### Syntax
{% highlight sql %}
ANALYZE TABLE table_name [ PARTITION ( partition_col_name [ = partition_col_val ] [ , ... ] ) ]
COMPUTE STATISTICS [ NOSCAN | FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] | FOR ALL COLUMNS ]

{% endhighlight %}

### Parameters
<dl>
<dt><code><em>table_name</em></code></dt>
<dd>The name of an existing table.</dd>
</dl>

<dl>
<dt><code><em>PARTITION ( partition_col_name [ = partition_col_val ] [ , ... ] )</em></code></dt>
<dd>Specifies one or more partition column and value pairs. The partition value is optional.</dd>
</dl>

<dl>
<dt><code><em>[ NOSCAN | FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] | FOR ALL COLUMNS ]</em></code></dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li> If no analyze option is specified, <code>ANALYZE TABLE</code> collects the table's number of rows and size in bytes. </li>
<li> <b>NOSCAN</b>
<br> Collect only the table's size in bytes ( which does not require scanning the entire table ). </li>
<li> <b>FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] <code> | </code> FOR ALL COLUMNS</b>
<br> Collect column statistics for each column specified, or alternatively for every column, as well as table statistics.
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
