Hi All,

I'd like to improve the performance of programs (i know that in BIND time, DB2 decides the path and the path depends of catalog statistics).

In order to update catalog statistics, Shall i use only Runstats or BMCSTATS has also influence?
BMCSTATS update the DB2 catalog? I think it updates only BMC tables.
DB2 only look at DB2 catalog? Is the statistics on BMC tables important when DB2 decides the access path?

Kind regards.

Hello Monaco,

BMCSTATS updates the DB2 catalog if you say, it shall (switch on the parameter panel of BMCSTATS). DB2 only looks into it's own catalog to choose access paths, BUT by using BMCSTATS you have history functions to compare statistics for the same object taken at different dates.
By directly accessing the STATS-Tables of BMC you can customize your own reports, for instance doing correlation analysis between the changes of statistics of different objects (do changes in one table imply changes in other tables). A very interesting and rich field of research!

regards
Christian
