• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM225 - Table has been set NOT VOLATILE and will be included into Auto RUNSTATS ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM225 indicates that a specific database table has been set to "NOT VOLATILE," which means that the table is not expected to change frequently. As a result, the database management system (DBMS) will include this table in its automatic statistics collection process (Auto RUNSTATS). This is typically done to ensure that the database optimizer has up-to-date statistics for query optimization.
  Cause:
  
  Table Configuration: The table has been explicitly marked as NOT VOLATILE, which is a configuration setting that indicates the table's data does not change often.
  Database Settings: The database system is configured to automatically collect statistics for tables that are marked as NOT VOLATILE to optimize query performance.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Table Settings: Check the configuration of the table in question. If the table is indeed expected to change frequently, you may want to change its volatility setting to VOLATILE.
  Manual RUNSTATS: If the table is not changing frequently but you want to ensure that the statistics are up-to-date, you can manually run the statistics collection process for that table.
  Database Configuration: Review the database settings related to automatic statistics collection. Ensure that they align with your performance requirements and the expected behavior of your tables.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the database documentation for specific commands or procedures to change the volatility setting or to manage statistics collection.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Database Management: Understanding how your specific DBMS handles table volatility and statistics collection is crucial. Different databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, DB2) may have different commands and settings.
  Performance Tuning: Keeping statistics up-to-date is essential for query optimization. If the statistics are outdated, it can lead to suboptimal query performance.
  Monitoring: Regularly monitor the performance of your queries and the statistics collection process to ensure that your database is performing optimally.
