Re: Stats collection issue in 19C

Thank You Lothar.

Something odd I am noticing. Because we have many partitioned tables and this issue we are noticing for a handful of them and another thing i notice, for the table which has no table level preferences set and also we are just passing a hard coded partition_name without any incremental, the Global_stats column in dba_tables is showing "YES". Ideally it should show Global_stats as 'NO'. Not sure how it happened and if it's responsible for making the stats to be collected as global each time. How to fix this ?

And also the synopsis you mentioned is related to incremental stats only, and for the partitioned table with incremental set as TRUE, i see the Granularity set as 'ALL', so is that the cause for making it go for collecting global column stats each time and we should turn it to AUTO then? But my worry is if just tweaking the 'Granularity" to AUTO will make the oracle go scanning/collecting synopsis from scratch for all the partitions again for the first stats run?

Also if i remember correctly , in the 11G period we encountered an issue in which Granularity =>AUTO was not collecting stats on the subpartitions, so we have set it to ALL and it was working perfectly fine with that setup in the 11.2 version. Not sure if some changes happened in 19C with respect to that.
