RE: DBMS_STATS

To expand on this, the action level is controlled by the granularity parameter...

        Granularity of statistics to collect (only pertinent if the table is partitioned).

        DEFAULT: Gather global- and partition-level statistics.

        SUBPARTITION: Gather subpartition-level statistics.

        PARTITION: Gather partition-level statistics.

        GLOBAL: Gather global statistics.

So, in you case, run the following...

execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'LDGADMIN', -

                                      tabname => 'LOG_TRANS', -
                                      partname => 'LOG_TRANS_20030102',
                                      estimate_percent => 5,
                                      granularity => 'PARTITION');

See the supplied package reference for more details...

The default action of dbms_stats against a single partition of a partitioned table is much more aggressive than a simple
analyze of the partition.

At the least, it does a similar analyze of the whole table in order to maintain the global table statistics - you need to set the granularity of the analyze to stop this happening.

On a quick test, with sql_trace turned on and using 9.2.0.2, your choice of parameters gave me:

Two 5% analyzes of the specified partition, with a small difference relating to one longish varchar() column.

One 5% analyze of the whole table.

One 50% analyze of the whole table - restricted to a much smaller process of a subset of the columns that omitted the one longish varchar() column.
