Answer / sajjan jindal
IT is a DB2 utility used to collect statistics about the
data values in tables which can be used by the optimizer to
decide the access path. It also collects statistics used
for space management. These statistics are stored in DB2
catalog tables.
The RUNSTAT is executed after a load, or after mass
updates, inserts, deletes, or after REORG.

Answer / avinash
It provide the summary information about the
characteristics of data available in table, indexes etc.
DB2 records these information into the CATLOG table and use
this information to decide on the access path to data
during the bind process. To obtain the statistics you can
query the catalog table.
