DBMS_STATS doesn't compute the value chain_cnt. Therefore, there are two
possibilities:
1) dba_tables.chain_cnt = 0
2) dba_tables.chain_cnt > 0

If 1, either the table doesn't contain chained/migrated rows or ANALYZE
was never used to compute statistics for it.

If 2, at some time in the past the statistics were compute with ANALYZE.
Since DBMS_STATS doesn't compute it, you see the value at the time of
the last execution of ANALYZE.
