Hi Rit,

Let's start with some basic info.

- what commands does your SP generate and/or execute ?

- how big is the table that you're collecting statistics on ?

     SELECT SUM(CURRENTPERM) FROM DBC.TABLESIZE
        WHERE DATABASENAME = 'name of database'
          AND TABLENAME = 'name of table';

- how many columns/indexes are statistics being collected on ?

     HELP STATISTICS 'name of database'.'name of table';

- what release of Teradata are you using ?

     SELECT * FROM DBC.DBCINFO;

Collecting statistics on a column often requires a full table scan (FTS). If it takes 30 minutes to do an FTS and you're collecting stats on 18 columns that will take about 9 hours.


Cheers,

Dave
