Hi All, I am trying to collect statistics to a table 'T' which is owned by 'S' schema. When i try to gather statistics to the table, I see that the table statistics are gathered but the index statistics are still not gathered. I use the following command to collect the statistics. EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('S', 'T',estimate_percent => 30); I confirmed the statics of index are not gathered by quering select * from dba_indexes where table_name = 'T' columns leaf_blocks ,distinct_keys,clustering_factor,num_rows shows value 0 and the last_analyzed does not show the date on which i ran the gather_table_stats. Why does DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS not gather statistics for the index? I have not tried running gather_index_stats or rebuilding the index. -- Thanks, Dwarak.K
