<h1 class="topictitle1">Determining unnecessary MQTs</h1>
<div><p>You can easily determine which MQTs are being used for query optimization.
However, you can now easily find all MQTs and retrieve statistics on MQT
usage as a result of iSeries™ Navigator and i5/OS™ functionality.</p>
<div class="section"><p>To assist you in tuning your performance, this function now produces
statistics on MQT usage in a query. To access this through the iSeries Navigator,
navigate to: <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Database</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Schemas</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Tables</span></span>. Right-click your table and select <span class="uicontrol">Show
Materialized Query Tables</span>.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You can also view the statistics
through an application programming interface (API).</div>
<p> In addition
to all existing attributes of an MQT, two new fields have been added to the iSeries Navigator.</p>
<p>These
new fields are:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Last Query Use</dt>
<dd>States the timestamp when the MQT was last used by the optimizer to replace
user specified tables in a query.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Query Use Count</dt>
<dd>Lists the number of instances the MQT was used by the optimizer to replace
user specified tables in a query.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section"> <p>The fields start and stop counting based on your situation,
or the actions you are currently performing on your system. A save and restore
procedure does not reset the statistics counter if the MQT is restored over
an existing MQT. If an MQT is restored that does not exist on the server,
the statistics are reset.</p>
