Hi Gurus, One of my apps user is faced the problem as the 'USER_TAB_MODIFICATIONS' table is not giving the list of partition names when they are trying to analyze the partitions. They are requesting whether the following code to be used is useful: "dbms_stats.FLUSH_DATABASE_MONITORING_INFO();" As flushing the database monitoring info in the database level will internally updates the table level modified info in "USER_TAB_MODIFICATIONS". Can the "dbms_stats.FLUSH_DATABASE_MONITORING_INFO();" is used in their jobs, if it is used does it creates any performance issues, since it is flushing the entire database monitoring info? Can the ANALYZE_ANY system privilege be given to execute from other non-sys/system privileged schemas 4) Do we have any other table option in Oracle 11g to use, instead of 'USER_TAB_MODIFICATIONS' which will support the requirement? Need your advice Thanks, shastry -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
