Sorry, I haven't explained myself correctly. When you have first run a dbms_stats to generate on partitioned tables, analyze doesn't generate any. However, this applies for compute statistics.
I think this article could explain you better than I: Doc ID: Note:97207.1 Type: PROBLEM Status: PUBLISHED Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN Creation Date: 24-JAN-2000 Last Revision Date: 28-MAR-2001 Problem Description ------------------- You have run ANALYZE TABLE COMPUTE STATISTICS on a partitioned table and the statistics in dba_tables have not been replaced. Solution Description -------------------- You ran the dbms_stats package to get statistics on the partitioned table with granularity = ALL. By running the dbms_stats package on the table the global_stats column in dba_tables is set to YES. You need to do the following to delete the stats generated by the dbms_stats package: execute dbms_stats.delete_table_stats(ownname => 'SCOTT', tabname => 'ORDERS', cascade_parts => TRUE); Once you have done that you can run the ANALYZE TABLE and the statistics will populate dba_tables. Explanation ----------- When analyzing a partitioned table with dbms_stats package, the global_stats flag is set. When it is set in this case you need to use the dbms_stats package to delete the statistics before the ANALYZE command can be used on the table.
