John,

I think the easiest way to do this is to create a stored procedure that calls dbms_stats for you. you could then simply run your stored procedure from dbms_jobs.

create or replace procedure run_stats is begin
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname=>'RPT_3G_MASTER',estimate_percent=>10 ,cascade=>true);
end;

and then:
declare
l_job number;
begin
dbms_job.submit (l_job,'run_stats',
trunc(sysdate+1)+01/24,'sysdate+7');
end;
/

make sense?

PS. I personally don't like DBMS_JOBS. I use either Cron, or Tivoli on NT systems to schedule all jobs.

hope this helps.

Listers,

Looking for a bit of help with the syntax to submit a dbms_stats run via dbms_jobs

The following syntax works fine to run the procedure interactively execute
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname=>'RPT_3G_MASTER',estimate_percent=>10 ,cascade=>true);

but trying to get that into an dbms_job is destroying my brain.The syntax I am trying is based around this script

declare
l_job number;
begin
dbms_job.submit
(l_job,'dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(''RPT_2G_MASTER'',10,FALSE,''CASCADE> =TRUE'');',
trunc(sysdate+1)+01/24,'sysdate+7');
end;
/

The problem area is the cascade keyword. I am using single quotes in the line but 2 of them around the schema name as that is a varchar2. Ideally I think I want 2 single quotes around the cascade but I cannot get it to work properly. The above example submits the job as Job What

2
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('RPT_2G_MASTER',10,FALSE,'CASCADE>=TRUE');

but that fails to run

Has anybody got any ideas.

I seem to recall Connor McDonald having some information about this on his web site but it doesn't appaer to exist any more

John
