Difference Between DROP STATISTICS (QCD Form) and DROP STATISTICS (Optimizer Form)
Unlike the DROP STATISTICS (Optimizer Form) statement, DROP STATISTICS (QCD Form) does not drop the statistics kept in the data dictionary for use by the Optimizer. The DROP STATISTICS (QCD Form) drops statistics from the TableStatistics table of the specified QCD database.
DROP STATISTICS (QCD Form) and INSERT EXPLAIN WITH STATISTICS
DROP STATISTICS (QCD Form) does not drop statistics from the QCD that were captured using an INSERT EXPLAIN WITH STATISTICS request. These statistics are dropped automatically whenever their corresponding query plan is deleted from the QCD.
DROP STATISTICS (QCD Form) and Transaction Processing
You can place a DROP STATISTICS (QCD Form) request anywhere within a transaction because it is not treated as a DDL statement by the Transaction Manager.
Dropping Statistics On UDTs
