# SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_STATISTICS_TIMING system procedure

Statistics timing is an attribute associated with a connection that you turn on and off by using the `SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_STATISTICS_TIMING` system procedure. Statistics timing is turned off by default. Turn statistics timing on only when the `runtimestatistics` attribute is already on. Turning statistics timing on when the `runtimestatistics` attribute is off has no effect.

Turn statistics timing on by calling this procedure with a non-zero argument. Turn statistics timing off by calling the procedure with a zero argument.

When statistics timing is turned on, Derby tracks the timings of various aspects of the execution of a statement. This information is included in the information returned by the SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS system function. When statistics timing is turned off, the SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS system function shows all timing values as zero.

#### Syntax

    SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_STATISTICS_TIMING(IN SMALLINT ENABLE)

#### Example

To turn the `runtimestatistics` attribute and then the statistics timing attribute on:

    CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_RUNTIMESTATISTICS(1);
    CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_STATISTICS_TIMING(1);
