CHAR(40)

PAGECOUNT

Cost determination result for the selected search strategy

This column shows which sizes are assumed for the tables or, in the case of certain strategies, for the indexes.

These sizes affect which search strategy is selected by the system.

To update the defined sizes, use the UPDATE STATISTICS statement or the relevant database tool function.

You can query the defined sizes by selecting the system table OPTIMIZERINFORMATION. You can query the current sizes of tables or indexes by selecting the TABLESTATISTICS and INDEXSTATISTICS system tables. When you discover substantial differences between the values in OPTIMIZERINFORMATION and TABLESTATISTICS, then execute the UPDATE STATISTICS statement for these tables.

If the system discovers during a search in a table that the values determined by the last UPDATE STATISTICS statement are extremely low, a row is entered in the SYSUPDSTATWANTED system table that contains the table name. In all other cases, rows are entered in this system table that describe columns in tables. The UPDATE STATISTICS statement should be executed for tables and table columns that are described in the SYSUPDSTATWANTED system table.

The last row contains the estimated SELECT cost value in the PAGECOUNT column. This estimated SELECT cost value forms the basis of the COSTLIMIT and COSTWARNING information in the SQL statements for creating and changing users (such as the CREATE USER and ALTER USER statements).
