Confirm Noconfirm Specify the Confirm qualifier with the Update qualifier to gain more control over the update function. When you specify the Confirm qualifier, you are asked whether the update should be performed for each selected table or index whose stored cardinality value is different from its actual cardinality value. You can respond with YES, NO, QUIT, or an alternative value for the stored cardinality. Specifying YES means that you want to update the stored cardinality with the actual cardinality value. Specifying NO means that you do not want to update the stored cardinality value. Specifying QUIT aborts the RMU Analyze Cardinality command, rolls back any changes you made to stored cardinalities, and returns you to the operating system prompt. Specifying an alternative value updates the stored cardinality value with the alternative value. When you specify the Noconfirm qualifier, you are not given the option of updating stored cardinality values with an alternative value of your own choosing. Instead, the stored cardinality values that differ from the actual cardinality values are automatically updated with the actual cardinality values. The default is the Noconfirm qualifier. The Confirm and Noconfirm qualifiers are meaningless and are ignored if they are specified without the Update qualifier.
