Greetings,

I have been running dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats against
test/development database for some time and recently added

estimate_percent => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size

Since which time ORA-06152 errora are generated...

BEGIN dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(  ownname => 'EDRS',
estimate_percent => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size,  method_opt => 'for all
columns',  cascade => true,  options => 'GATHER',  degree => 15); END;

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 10502
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 10996
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 11183
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 11237
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 11214
ORA-06512: at line 1

I suspect it has to do with dbms_stats not knowing how to deal with the
stats which have already been collected but that is just a guess. I am
not familiar enough with views such as DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS to know if
information stored there is causing the problems or if deleting and
regenerating statistics (I haven't tried that yet) will solve the
problem. I would appreciate any insight into the problem.

Thanks.
