Moving from left-deep tree to a Bushy tree is a challenge as the number of possible structures in bushy trees are much larger. Left-deep trees have only one structure regardless of the number of attributes involved. Therefor the number of possible permutations are N! . But for bushy trees possible number of structures are given by   $$S(N) = \begin{cases}   $1$ 1  & \text{if $N = 1$}; \\ $\sum_{i=1}^{N}$ \sum_{i=1}^{N}$  & \text{if $ N \ne 0$}; \\ $$ Therefore the number of possible permutations are $S(N)*N!$ . Unlike left-deep tree case, estimating the cost for all the possible bushy trees is computationally infeasible for moderately large N. Therefore it is required to come with a heuristic to select set of permutations for cost computations.Some heuristics considered are
