usually i use the default when i am using the dbms_stats.gather_table_stats package to collect the statistics.

for example:

 execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('HR','EMPLOYEE');

then i was been asked this question "does using a default on dbms_stats.gather_table_stats creates a histogram and if so how?".

how does dbms_stats.gather_table_stats creates a histogram?

thank you,
warren

It depends on your default gathering method (as you specified none):

SQL> select dbms_stats.get_param('METHOD_OPT') from dual;
DBMS_STATS.GET_PARAM('METHOD_OPT')
---------------------------------------------------------
FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO
