Hi Greg,
Thanks for the reply. I had got to the point where I hoped this was a bug, but i was interested to see if I could find anyone else it had been tripped up.
For the time being I using the dbms_stats.set_ calls to create the stats that I can by summing from the subpartitions, this has had the desired impact on the SQL plans.
I take your point about the auto sample size, the reason I had not been using it was that we started with 11.1.0.6 very soon after it was released and I was sticking to what I knew worked for this database. But given the nice research you have done, I have decided that in future I will use the dbms_stats defaults.
At some point I will have to open a SR with Oracle, to get the official line on this and then I suspect we will planning to upgrade to 11.2, because that release has other bug fixes we need.
Regards
Pete
