Statistics Collection Recommendations – Teradata 14.10, 15.0 and 15.10 - comment by carrie

Hi Sanji,
 
Yes, you can recollect statistics by name, if a name exists.  This is particularly useful if you have multicolumn statistics.
 
From page 7 of the orange book titled:  Teradata Database 14.10 Statistics Enhancements:
 
"When you collect statistics on an index or column set, specifying a name for them is optional. A name is mandatory if statistics are for anything other than column references on expressions.
 
You can later use the name for recollections, copies, transfers, help information, show information, and for dropping the collected statistics. The rules for naming statistics are the same as the rules for naming database objects."
 
Thanks, -Carrie
