Jesse - I'm doing this from memory, so I may be off a little. Look at the table STATS$SNAPSHOT. Records in this table are related to the other tables that are populated each time a snapshot occurs (the magic of relationships). If you delete a row from this table, rows in the other tables are automatically deleted. Since deleting statistics is a low-risk proposition for most of us, give it a try. Start by deleting 10 rows to start with, because deleting is SLOOOW!! As I recall, deleting a 100 snapshots may take 30 minutes. Anyway, this is the best way I've found to delete STATSPACK statistics.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 3:25 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, I'm going to (finally!) be implementing STATSPACK on our 8.1.7.2.0 DB. The thing that kills me is all the junk that "?/rdbms/admin/sppurge.sql" leaves behind! Is there any harm in deleting the rows from these tables: select table_name from user_tab_columns where column_name = 'SNAP_ID'; ...where the SNAP_ID is in the range I want to delete? I've seen a few messages in the archives that dealt with this, but none I found were comprehensive in their deletes. Or am I just being too aggressive with this? TIA!
