Greg Rahn's blog has some good links/articles. I have seen articles in his blog where he stresses on the importance of stats being representative of the data. On a lighter note, I was in similar situation earlier and one of the 'Directors' asked us to collect stats everyday even for a table such as fnd_lookups (data is pretty much static except for big FND patches) - in an apps situation. When I told him stats should be representative and not collected for the sake of collection, he was mad at me and complained to my manager :). - Kumar On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 10:18 AM, <Joel.Patterson@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I use default stats collection method on 10.2.0.4 database.
