I suggest running in parallel. Also, is the table partitioned?

We just upgraded our data warehouse from version 8.0.4 to version 8.1.7.2 of Oracle. We run on Sun Solaris 2.6 vith Veritas Quick I/O.

We do an analyze compute nightly with a 10% estimate of our large, main fact table. Before the upgrade, the analyze ran for 45 minutes. Since the upgrade, it's run three times at a consistent 90 minutes.

I am trying to research on Metalink but have not had much success. Why would this analyze suddenly run longer? I wouldn't think that analyze code is being modified much in new releases. All the effort would go into new packages like DBMS_STATS. Is anyone aware of analyze changing in 8i.

Our analyze was of a partitioned table and was single-threaded, not parallel. I can see that it is still single-threaded.

We really didn't change much during the upgrade. I added another datafile to the SYSTEM tablespace (on the same file system as the previous file).

I also changed parallel_threads_per_cpu from 2 to 0. However, since we never did the analyze in parallel, I don't think it was an issue.

Any other ideas? I'd like to be able to give our application owners some explanation.

Thanks,

Cherie
