A DBA notices a decline in query performance in a DB2 database. What steps can they take using the Runstats and Reorg utilities to improve performance?
- Analyze query execution plans and identify any missing or outdated statistics on tables and indexes
- Disable logging for the affected tables and indexes to reduce overhead during query execution
- Drop and recreate all indexes on the tables to eliminate fragmentation and improve query performance
- Increase buffer pool sizes and adjust memory configuration settings to allocate more resources for query processing
Analyzing query execution plans helps identify areas where statistics are outdated or missing, which can lead to poor query performance. Running Runstats updates these statistics, providing the query optimizer with accurate information for generating efficient execution plans. Reorganizing the database using the Reorg utility helps to defragment tables and indexes, improving data locality and access efficiency, thus further enhancing query performance. Adjusting buffer pool sizes and memory configurations may optimize memory usage but may not directly address the root cause of performance degradation related to outdated statistics or fragmented data. Disabling logging for tables and indexes is not a recommended practice as it compromises data integrity and recoverability.
