| Subj: | | Gathering statistics within a transaction |
| |
| From: | | ian.mcguinness |
Hi,
Does anyone have any solutions for gathering table stats within a transaction? Our procedures change regularly make significant changes to the
content of tables and then use these tables in later queries within that procedure. But the only way we've managed to avoid getting the "Only an
ET or null statement is legal after a DDL Statement" error is to collect the stats, end the current transaction and then start a new transaction.
Obviously this isn't great as if the proc fails it'll only roll back to the last end transaction.
We are porting over a couple of hundred procedures from SQL Server to Teradata so re-writing them all so that we update these tables in one
procedure and collect stats at the end of it and then use them in other procedure isn't an option for us.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Ian
