OK, as a foot soldier DBA, why would I want to use this feature? I dismissed it as impractical, as soon as I've read about it. It cannot help me with newly created tables which haven't been analyzed yet, even if the table is created with monitoring option. In my opinion, this feature was added to the RDBMS just to make DBA guide longer and harder to read. Thanks for your clarification, it is brilliant and easy to read.
