Agree completely - it's a bit of a luxury to have the time,
and hard to get the correct information, but every (complex)
system needs a table-driven stats gathering process to
minimize the work done, and maximise the return on effort.

All,

Seems to be the day I use Oracle Apps 11i as a whipping boy! (positive in
the case below):

Apps 11i maintains a separate table named FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS which stores
column names that are good candidates for Histogram collection. Stats is
then collected via an Apps specific FND_STATS package that wraps around
DBMS_STATS. The data in FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS is seeded, but there should be no
reason you cannot add to this if required. The point is that one could
borrow this idea to roll-your-own MY_OWN_GEN_STATS package...
