When you enable and collect workload statistics, the system table, RDB$WORKLOAD, is created and populated. (See Collect_ Optimizer_Statistics for details.) If you are knowledgeable about the data in your database, or if workload statistics were gathered for queries that are no longer in use, you might decide that you no longer want Oracle RMU to collect statistics for particular column groups. The RMU Delete Optimizer_Statistics gives you the ability to selectively delete records for column groups in the RDB$WORKLOAD system table. When you use the RMU Delete Optimizer_Statistics command, both the optimizer statistics themselves and the reference to the column duplicity factor and the null factor are deleted from the RDB$WORKLOAD system table. If you issue an RMU Collect Optimizer_Statistics command after having issued an RMU Delete Optimizer_Statistics command, statistics for the specified column group are not collected.
