Hi Darrell & Kirti - 

It was late last night when I was looking at this.  It seems I should be using GATHER 
EMPTY instead of GATHER STALE.  However this will put statistics on partitions with no 
rows.

When I load new partitions tomorrow (they are empty prior to the daily load), the 
number of rows inserted wouldn't reach 10% change.  It would take over a week to reach 
10% change in order for GATHER STALE to pick up on this and re-analyze these 
partitions.  I don't want statistics saying there are 0 records in a partition that is 
indeed loaded.  

I guess GATHER STALE would be much more useful if the 10% threshold could be modified, 
and/or the threshold could be partition specific.  

And Kirti, the bugs I have seen are 1192012, 1890016, 2157655.  I thought I was 
running into 1890016.  

Looks like I'll have to code around this after all. Darn it all.  I really am a 
monkey. Sheesh

Lisa,

Wow, you might be saving me from peril right now.  I have tested this
with a small set of tables with no problems (in and 8.1.7.4 instance). 
I'm preparing to go 'schema' wide in the next week or so for further
testing prior to implementing in production.
I'd be very interested in more details of your problems in 8.1.7.4 and
of course I'll post reports of testing to the list as well.

For starters, here is the code I use to obtain a list of 'stale'
qualified tables:
( For proper credit, I think I got this from asktom.oracle.com)


set serverout on size 90000

declare
l_objList dbms_stats.objecttab;
begin
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats
( ownname => '&1',
options => 'LIST STALE',
objlist => l_objlist );
for i in 1 .. l_objlist.count
loop
--dbms_output.put_line( l_objlist(i).objtype );
dbms_output.put_line( l_objlist(i).objname );
end loop;
end;
/


And the code to gather stats:

set serverout on size 99000

begin
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(
        ownname=>'&1',
        options=>'GATHER STALE',
        cascade=>TRUE,
        degree=>8,
        granularity=>'ALL',
        method_opt=>'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS SIZE 1'
        );
end;
/


Thanks,
Darrell

Hello everyone, 
 
Is anyone using dbms_stats and gather stale or gather auto in 9.2? 
I'm
trying to use dbms_stats gather schema stats with the stale option and
it just isn't working in 8.1.7.4.  This is documented on Metalink. 
I'd
love to hear from someone else if this is fixed in 9.2 and if it can
be
reliably used. 
 
Thank you
Lisa Monkey.
