RESET_TABLE_INDEX_STATISTICS procedure

The RESET_TABLE_INDEX_STATISTICS procedure clears usage statistics for indexes defined over a table or tables and optionally deletes rows from the index advice tracking table.

The schema is QSYS2.

This procedure will zero the QUERY_USE_COUNT and QUERY_STATISTICS_COUNT usage statistics for all indexes over the specified tables. These counts can also be reset using the Change Object Description (CHGOBJD) CL command, but the command requires an exclusive lock.

schema-name
A character string expression for the name of the schema or schemas to use. The name is case-sensitive and must not be delimited. Wildcard characters (_ and %) are allowed in the string following the rules for the SQL LIKE predicate.
table-name
A character string expression for the name of the table or tables to use. The name is case-sensitive and must not be delimited. Wildcard characters (_ and %) are allowed in the string following the rules for the SQL LIKE predicate.
delete-advice
A character string expression that indicates whether this procedure should remove rows from the index advice tracking table.
NO
Index advice for the table is not affected. This is the default.
YES
This procedure will delete rows from the index advice tracking table (QSYS2/SYSIXADV) that correspond to schema-name and table-name.

Authorization: The counts will only be reset when the caller has *OBJMGT and *OBJOPR authority on the table. For each index found over the table, *OBJOPR is required. If the user does not have the required authority to the table, the object is skipped and no warning is returned. If the user does not have the required authority to the index, the object is skipped and an SQL warning is returned. To delete index advice, the DELETE privilege is required on QSYS2/SYSIXADV. Index advice is only deleted when the caller has the required authority to the table and index.

The procedure writes information related to every index processed into an SQL global temporary table. The fields LAST_QUERY_USE, LAST_STATISTICS_USE, LAST_USE_DATE, and NUMBER_DAYS_USED are not affected. The following query will display the results of the last call to the procedure:

SELECT * FROM SESSION.SQL_Indexes_Reset

The table that is created contains the following columns:

Table 1. SQL_Indexes_Reset result table

INDEX_MEMBER INDEX00002 VARCHAR(128) Partition or member name of index.
INDEX_TYPE INDEX_TYPE CHAR(11) Type of index.
LAST_QUERY_USE LAST_00002 TIMESTAMP The timestamp of the last time the SQL index was used in a query since the last time the usage statistics were reset.
LAST_STATISTICS_USE LAST_00003 TIMESTAMP The timestamp of the last time the SQL index was used by the optimizer for statistics since the last time the usage statistics were reset.
QUERY_USE_COUNT QUERY00001 BIGINT The number of times the SQL index was used in a query since the last time the usage statistics were reset.
QUERY_STATISTICS_COUNT QUERY00002 BIGINT The number of times the SQL index was used by the optimizer for statistics since the last time the usage statistics were reset.

Examples

  • Zero the statistics for all indexes over table TOYSTORE.SALES 
    CALL qsys2.Reset_Table_Index_Statistics ('TOYSTORE', 'SALES')
  • Zero the statistics for all indexes over any table in schema TOYSTORE whose name starts with the letter S.
    CALL qsys2.Reset_Table_Index_Statistics ('TOYSTORE', 'S%')
