Automated Update Statistics and FORCE

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

AUS appends FORCE to UPDATE STATISTICS statements saved in "sysadmin:aus_command.aus_cmd_exe" when using C function "aus_evaluate_stats" but not when using SPL "aus_evaluator". Both need a configuration parameter to enable or disable FORCE. Some sites need exceptional tables excluded by altering STATCHANGE to a large percentage so that custom SQL can be run instead, but that only works without FORCE. At other sites, FORCE might be desired. This is suggested:

INSERT INTO ph_threshold VALUES
(
0,
'AUS_FORCE',
'Auto Update Statistics Evaluation',
'T',
'STRING',
'Append FORCE to all statements?'
);

Informix HQ would need the parameter added to the AUS configuration screen, and UDRs would need modifying to add "FORCE" only if enabled.
