Don't forget that if you are using partitioning you don't get the complete statistics with analyze - only with dbms_stats.

Oracle is deprecating analyze so might as well get used to it?

This is an old and probably stupid question, but Im on a new project and they are using Analyze. Im trying to get them to switch to DBMS_STATS please let me know if my argument is correct. Need to be able to articulate this adequately.

DBMS_STATS is faster
the statistics gathered are better
you can use histograms and I believe I may have identified some areas where they would be appropriate.

anything I missed? Ive pointed them to asktom also. Any other good sources to point them to?
