  In SAP, you can use transaction codes like DB02 or DBACOCKPIT to monitor and manage database statistics.
  You can also use the UPDATE STATISTICS command or equivalent commands specific to your database system.
  
  
  
  Schedule Regular Updates: To prevent this issue from recurring, consider scheduling regular updates of statistics for tables that experience high change rates. This can be done through background jobs in SAP.
  
  
  Monitor Change Rates: Keep an eye on the change rates of your tables. If certain tables consistently have high change rates, you may need to evaluate their design or the frequency of data modifications.
  
  
  Related Information:
