Yes. At least I was before reverting back to ANALYZE. For our little 30GB DB, there's little penalty for non-parallel stats gathering on Saturdays. Then again, one could ANALYZE multiple tables at once to regain some parallelism in stats gathering...

Are you using the option 'cascade=>true' for gather_table_stats? -----Original Message----- Jesse, Rich Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 4:21 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Yes -- same platform and version. If you look on the list archives (fatcity.com, for example) for a subject of "Burned by DBMS_STATS **AGAIN**" back in April 2003, you may get some insight. There are also known bugs in GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS in 8i. The recommendation is to iteratively call GATHER_TABLE_STATS. GL!
