Hi,

try is with "update stat *" as superdba and then execute

"select sum(DISTINCTVALUES) from optimizerstatistics
 where COLUMNNAME = 'TABLE STATISTICS'"

This will show you the row count for all tables you have 
permision for.

If you only need an estimation you could use 
"update stat * estimate sampe <int> percent".

This will gather the statistics much faster 
but is less accurate.

Kind regards,
