SQL programmingYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the SQL language to develop applications for HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Guide to SQL: SyntaxThe HCL OneDB™ Guide to SQL: Syntax describes the syntax of the statements, data types, expressions, operators, and built-in functions of the HCL OneDB™ dialect of the SQL language.
SQL statementsThis chapter describes the syntax and semantics of SQL statements that are recognized by HCL OneDB™.
UPDATE STATISTICS statementUse the UPDATE STATISTICS statement to update system catalog information that the query optimizer uses for operations on objects in the local database. The UPDATE STATISTICS statement is an extension to the ANSI/ISO standard for SQL.
Resolution ClauseUse the Resolution clause in MEDIUM or HIGH mode to adjust the size of the distribution bins, and to avoid calculating data on indexes.
Using the DISTRIBUTIONS ONLY Option to Suppress Index Information

Using the DISTRIBUTIONS ONLY Option to Suppress Index Information

In HCL OneDB™, when you specify the DISTRIBUTIONS ONLY option, you do not update index information. This option does not affect existing index information.

Use this option to avoid the examination of index information that can consume considerable processing time.

This option does not affect the recalculation of information on tables, such as the number of pages used, the number of rows, and fragment information. UPDATE STATISTICS needs this information to construct accurate column distributions and requires little time and system resources to collect it.

Do not confuse this DISTRIBUTIONS ONLY option with the DROP DISTRIBUTIONS ONLY option of LOW mode, whose syntax and semantics are not supported in MEDIUM or HIGH mode. For information on how to suppress the collection of column distributions, see Using the DROP DISTRIBUTIONS ONLY Option.
