I do not remember what was the case but i have seen cases where
histograms produced slower execution plans. By removing histograms, the
query went ok. The column data were uniformly distributed. Sorry i do
not have a test case.
My weak memory!

Hi All,

Can I poll the list on their views on the use of
histograms?  I've previously been quite conservative,
only gathering them when we've had a specific case of
bad CBO performance due to skewed data.  However I was
interested in this article mentioning a "broad brush"
approach to histogram gathering:

Any thoughts to share?

Thank you
Charlotte
