Makes sense, BUT...
"If the data changes A LOT you should of course re-analyze." is assuming you
know when that happens. You are assuming communication between users, developers, and DBAs. Communication is my New Year's Resolution.

I would at least suggest exporting stats before changing them. Then there
are all the extra problems such as retaining histograms with 8i, applications which constantly insert/delete from temporary tables (not Oracle temp tables), ...

>>But then I listened to Dave Ensor at the UKOUG conference, and he said
roughly this:

the optimizer to change execution plans. * "I know that big tables tend to stay big. Small tables stay small. Unique indexes stay unique and non-unique indexes stay non-unique..." * If the data changes A LOT you should of course re-analyze.
