Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Manipulate DATE histograms
Hi again Wolfgang,
Accordinf to the docs (http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch2143.htm#1302694) :
GLOBAL_STATS -
For partitioned tables, indicates whether column statistics were collected for the table as a whole (YES) or were
estimated from statistics on underlying partitions and subpartitions (NO).
USER_STATS-
the statistics entered directly by the user?
So, if flag is 2 then we have GLOBAL_STATS=YES and USER_STATS = NO
(values derived from the source of DBA_TAB_COLS) :
....
decode(bitand(h.spare2, 2), 2, 'YES', 'NO'),
decode(bitand(h.spare2, 1), 1, 'YES', 'NO'),
...
From
sys.hist_head$ h
....
What I is still not clear to me is:
1) When USER_STATS is set to YES. I have tried to use DBMS_STATS.SET_COLUMN_STATS, then
I have played with exec dbms_stats.export_table_stats + dbms_stats.import_table_stats, but
USER_STATS is still set to NO.
2) When/under which circumstances CBO is using/checking whether USER_STATS = YES and what is the influence of USER_STATS
column on the CBO , if any ...

You're right. avgclen should be 7. As I said I just took the example
>from my paper. I changed the density (so some fictitious value) but
forgot to change avgclen.
The flags value I think I took from dbms_stats.set_column_stats calls
created by export. I suppose you could just let it default. The
flag(s) correspond to GLOBAL_STATS and USER_STATS of dba_tab_columns
and thus can take on the values 0, 1, 2, and 3. (binary 00, 01, 10, 11).
