I was a bit confused by these too, though perhaps the original text is not as clear as it could be? Would the following be a good rewrite: If true, the stats cover the contents not only of the specified table, but also of its child tables or partitions. (If the table is partitioned, which contains no data by itself, the stats only cover the contents of partitions). Although, maybe the parenthetical is unnecessary. -- Thanks, Amit Langote EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
