Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: dbms_utility and dbms_stat difference
Hi, Madhavan,
Thanks all for the clraification.
Just wonder whether "analyze table <name> estimate statistics" generates the stats at partition level. But for sure, it does not generate the stats at table level. Please correct me if wrong.
As Connor said, dbms_stats runs a lot heavier than analyze, I think, it's because it gathers the stats at table and partition level and related indexes.
In brief, I prefer to choose "analyze .. estimate statistics" for non-partition table and dbms_stats for partitioned table.

A small correction, ANALYZE also generates statisics at partition level
and when an "analyze table <name> compute statistics" is done it
generates statistics for the partitions.
Analyze can also be run at the partition level as "analyze table <name>
part (<pname>) compute statistics" and this will generate statistics
only for that paritition.
Its very useful as analyze can be run for the partitions of a table in
parallel and so its a blessing when running analyze on huge partitioned
tables.
One of the big differences between analyze and dbms_stats is that analye cannot be run in parallel on a non partitioned table and definitely runs better in my opinion in general.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Madhavan
