Gene,

>collects stats for the whole table.
 
That's what I meant.  Did you check, if separate partitions have their
statistics collected with this command? Probably not.
Analyzing table (as a whole) and analyzing individual partitions is not
the same.
Look into USER_TAB_PARTITIONS and see if individual partitions have
statistics collected for them with your first command.

Igor,

My first command - dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( 'schema', 'table',
null, 25, degree=>8, cascade=>true ); - collects stats for the whole
table.

I have replaced it with these two commands
 -
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( 'owner', 'table', 'part1', 25,
degree=>8, cascade=>true ); exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( 'owner',
'table', 'part2', 25, degree=>8, cascade=>true );
- to only collect the stats on 2 partitions that may have been updated
since the last run (instead of analyzing all 7 partitions).

The first command ran in about 24 min. Two bottom commands ran in 26
minutes combined. What I don't understand is why analyzing the whole
table took the same time as analyzing 2 partitions (out of 7)

thank you

Gene Gurevich

Are you sure, that your first command collects statistics for separate
partitions (and not just for the whole table)?  Did you check partitions
statistics?

Hi everybody:

I am running oracle 10.2.0.1. Once a week we have a analyze process run
to gather stats on all the tables in the schema via commands like this
one exec
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( 'schema', 'table',            null, 25,
degree=>8, cascade=>true );

Some of the tables are partitioned and we have 6 or 7 historical
partitions which are not being updated anymore so I thought I would save
time by restricting this command to only last two
partitions:

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( 'owner', 'table', 'part1', 25,
degree=>8, cascade=>true ); exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( 'owner',
'table', 'part2', 25, degree=>8, cascade=>true );

The partitions are roughly the same size. The indices are globally
partitioned. The first command (analyze the whole table) took 25
minutes. Last two command combined - 27 min.
Considering that there are 5 more patitions in the table, the math does
not add up. What am I missing?


thank you

Gene Gurevich
