Statistics=Import Nostatistics Specifies that statistic information previously saved by using the Statistics=Export qualifier on the RMU Close command is to be loaded when the database is opened. The default is Nostatistics, which indicates that statistic information is not loaded when the database is opened. After the database is opened using the Statistics=Import qualifier, the saved statistics file is closed. The statistics file is not automatically deleted. It can be deleted if it is no longer needed. When you use the Statistics=Import qualifier, statistics information is automatically preserved in the event of abnormal database closure. To ensure that the ondisk statistic information files are accurate in the case of a node or monitor failure, the statistic information files are checkpointed by the database monitor every half-hour. The RMU Show Users command identifies when the checkpoint for each database occurs. The statistic files are not loaded if the physical schema of the database has changed since the statistic file was created. This means that the addition or deletion of storage aras, logical areas, and record caches invalidate the statistic files. This restriction prevents incorrect statistic information from being loaded when intervening physical changes occur to the database. Closing the database updates the statistic files and makes them valid. Use the RMU Show Users command to verify that the statistic information file was imported.
