Thanks for the pointer to Metalink, I am going to have a look. Not the same cluster,
but it may be related. What I meant about my questionable cleaning method (to my
defence, all attempts to clean up statistics with dbms_stats() ended with ORA-600) I
just selected all obj# from hist_head$, and, for each of them, first deleted the rows
with the same obj# in histgrm$ before deleting the row in hist_head$ - kind of manual
DELETE CASCADE, if you like. The surprising thing was that after all this (which
worked without any problem), I no longer had any row in hist_head$ but still had a lot
in histgrm$, whereas I would have expected none. Looks to me like foreign keys without
any parent. I then deleted (run-of-the-mill DELETE) histmgr$. No error. SELECT
COUNT(*) was returning 0, but SELECT * from the same table was still returning
ORA-600, and I only get rid of them when I truncated the cluster in which HISTGRM$ is
stored (alone). I wish I had run dbverify, but as the priority was to!
!
put the database back in CBO mode and as this is one of their main production
databases, shutting it down to dissecate it quietly was a bit of a luxury. Which is
why similar experiences interest me highly.
