If you want to detect unused indexes check the Columns Last_Query_Use,
Last_Statistics_Use, Query_Use_Count, Query_Statistics_Count in the
SYSINDEXSTAT (Indexes only) or SYSPARTITIONINDEXSTAT (Indexes, LF, Key
Constraints) View in the QSYS2 schema.
They include the last used timestamp and how often they were used.
Indexes that are not used for a long time or not used at all, can be
deleted.

Subject: DB2 Optimizer question

When the DB2 Optimizer uses an existing index to determine which access path
to use, does it update the Index Object's Last Used Date when it uses it?

I am trying to determine unneeded indexes, but don't want to remove ones
that the Optimizer uses or needs.

Thank you,

Doug
