Being that typical is the default I do not think you have to worry about an extra licensing fee for setting the statistics gathering level. Some of the products that use the statistics might be another story. But you can collect them for the cost of overhead.

So in situations when you want to disable automatic statistics gathering, the most direct approach is to disable the GATHER_STATS_JOB as follows(Concepts Guide 10G r1): BEGIN DBMS_SCHEDULER.DISABLE('GATHER_STATS_JOB'); END; / Setting the STATISTICS_LEVEL parameter to BASIC disables the collection of many of the important statistics required by Oracle Database features and functionality, including: Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) Snapshots Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) All server-generated alerts Automatic SGA Memory Management Automatic optimizer statistics collection Object level statistics End to End Application Tracing (V$CLIENT_STATS) Database time distribution statistics (V$SESS_TIME_MODEL and V$SYS_TIME_MODEL) Service level statistics Buffer cache advisory MTTR advisory Shared pool sizing advisory Segment level statistics PGA Target advisory Timed statistics Monitoring of statistics Note: Oracle strongly recommends that you do not disable these important features and functionality.
