• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6137 - Table &1 has a change rate of &2 percent; statistics update needed ?

  The SAP error message DB6137 indicates that a specific database table (denoted as &1) has a change rate of &2 percent, which suggests that the table has undergone significant changes since the last statistics update. This message is a warning that the database statistics for the table are outdated, which can affect the performance of SQL queries and the overall efficiency of the database.
  Cause:
  The change rate is calculated based on the number of changes (inserts, updates, deletes) made to the table since the last time the statistics were updated. A high change rate indicates that the data distribution and volume have changed significantly, which can lead to suboptimal query execution plans if the statistics are not updated.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to update the statistics for the affected table. This can be done using the following methods:
  
  
  Using SAP Transaction Code:
  
  Go to transaction code DB02 (Database Performance).
  Navigate to the "Statistics" section.
  Select the table in question and choose the option to update statistics.
  
  
  
  Using SQL Command:
  
  If you have access to the database, you can execute a command to update the statistics. The command may vary depending on the database system (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, etc.). For example, in Oracle, you might use:
  EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('schema_name', 'table_name');
  
  
  
  
  Using SAP Report:
  
  You can also use the SAP report RSSTAT40 to update statistics for database tables.
  
  
  
  Schedule Regular Updates:
  
  To prevent this issue from recurring, consider scheduling regular updates of statistics for your database tables, especially for those that are frequently modified.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Impact on Performance: Outdated statistics can lead to inefficient query plans, resulting in slower performance for database operations.
  Monitoring Change Rates: Regularly monitor the change rates of your tables to proactively manage statistics updates.
  Database-Specific Tools: Depending on your database system, there may be specific tools or commands available for managing statistics.
  
  By keeping your database statistics up to date, you can ensure that the query optimizer has the necessary information to generate efficient execution plans, thereby improving the overall performance of your SAP system.
