Wolfgang,

How could I have forgotten that one - it's one of my "dire warning" slides: 
Oracle got it half-right in 10.2.0.3, before doing it properly in 11.1.0.6

I respectfully beg to differ. It is probably correct for the "sanity check" 
you are referring to. I was talking about the basic cardinality estimate 
calculation where the optimizer can use the distinct_keys statistics of an 
index to calculate the "single table cardinality" but then decide not to 
use the index in the access plan - perhaps because of this more accurate 
estimate:
