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.

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!
