When you enable and collect workload statistics, the system table RDB$WORKLOAD is created and populated. (See Collect_ Optimizer_Statistics for details.) You can update or delete these statistics using the RMU Collect Optimizer_Statistics command or the RMU Delete Optimizer_Statistics command, respectively. You might delete entries in the RDB$WORKLOAD table by accident or you might delete them to test how effective it is to maintain those particular workload statistics. If you decide that you want to maintain those deleted statistics, you can insert them with the RMU Insert Optimizer_Statistics command. To ensure that you insert accurate values, always issue an RMU Show Optimizer_ Statistics command with the Log qualifier before you issue an RMU Delete Optimizer_Statistics command. Refer to your generated log file for the values you should specify with the RMU Insert Optimizer_Statistics command. In addition you can use the RMU Insert Optimizer_Statistics command to create workload statistics in a copy of your master database. If you issue an RMU Collect Optimizer_Statistics command after having issued an RMU Insert Optimizer_Statistics command, statistics for the specified column groups are updated.
