Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How long are statistics good for
John
My initial tests indicated that not all tables which had any DMLs were
getting into the 'stale category'. I checked the ratio A/B
where:
A is the sum of inserts+deletes+updates from user_tab_modifications
B is num_rows from user_tables (or user_tab_partitions).
I observed that if this ratio exceeded 10%, package dbms_stats analyzed
the objects with 'GATHER STALE' option. (But I get error for the
partitioned tables with this option).

>>>Anand,Just curious : Is there some test or other
observation that you can sharewith the list about dbms_stats using 10% as a
boundary for staleness?John KanagarajWhich version
of Oracle are you using. In 8i you can set 'monitoring on' forthe tables and
use dbms_stats to analyze stale. (Though, I am getting errorwhile using
dbms_stats for the partitioned tables. So I have made a homemade version to
analyze stale). As per my calculations, package dbms_statsconsiders
statistics stale if all DMLs affect more than 10% of number
ofrows.-- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: <A
