Re: Exporting stats for a production server to a dev/test server

2002-07-08 Thread Cherie_Machler


Jack,

Were your old statistics generated with the ANALYZE command?   If yes, were
you able to export ALL of the old statistics with the export option of
DBMS_STATS before you actually analyzed with DBMS_STATS for the first time?
If yes, after exporting them, did you delete the old statistics using the
delete option of ANALYZE command before gathering new statistics using
DBMS_STATS?

Thanks,

We just used it with great success to test our new
analyze strategy. You can label each set of stats, and
quickly switch between different analyze levels. Store
your old stats first and you can always fall back if
necessary.

Re: Exporting stats for a production server to a dev/test server

2002-07-08 Thread Jack Silvey

Cherie,

Great name.

Our initial stats were generated with the ANALYZE
command. We did export all the stats with the
dbms_stats - one parameter of the GATHER_TABLE_STATS
procedure is CASCADE, which picks up the index and
column stats too. Please test first on your own system
to make sure this is true for your version and setup.

We did not delete the stats before doing the new, what
we did was this:

1) export the old stats
2) analyze using a new sample, cascade, with histos
3) export the new stats (with a new label)
4) test, reimport the old and new stats as necessary

Do this quick test to show yourself what it can do:

a) create table tester.statstest as select * from
dba_tables;
b) create index tester.statstestidx on
statstest(table_name);
c) analyze table tester.statstest estimate statistics
sample 1 percent for table for all indexes for all
columns size 254;
d) create the stats holding table in the tester schema
using
DBMS_STATS.CREATE_STAT_TABLE('tester','stats','tsuser01')
e) export the stats using
DBMS_STATS.EXPORT_TABLE_STATS('tester','statstest',null,'stats','1pcttest',true,null);
f) select * from tester.stats to see what is stored
g) analyze table tester.statstest delete statistics;
h) import the stats using
DBMS_STATS.IMPORT_TABLE_STATS('tester','statstest',null,'stats','1pcttest',true,null);
i) select * from dba_tables, dba_indexes,
dba_tab_histograms to see what was imported

You can store multiple versions of stats for the same
table with different lables ('1pctest' in the example)
but if you try to store stats with the same label it
will overwrite.

We did have some data dictionary locking issues trying
to import multiple partitions of the same table at the
same time, but our db has suspect dd issues anyway, so
this might just be a feature of our system.

hth,

Jack
