We just upgraded our data warehouse from version 8.0.4 to version 8.1.7.2
of Oracle.   We run on Sun Solaris 2.6 vith Veritas Quick I/O.

We do an analyze compute nightly with a 10% estimate of our large, main
fact table.   Before the upgrade, the analyze ran for 45 minutes.   Since
the upgrade, it's run three times at a consistent 90 minutes.

I am trying to research on Metalink but have not had much success.   Why
would this analyze suddenly run longer?   I wouldn't think that analyze
code is being modified much in new releases.   All the effort would go into
new packages like DBMS_STATS.   Is anyone aware of analyze changing in 8i.

Our analyze was of a partitioned table and was single-threaded, not
parallel.   I can see that it is still single-threaded.

We really didn't change much during the upgrade.   I added another datafile
to the SYSTEM tablespace (on the same file system as the previous file).

I also changed parallel_threads_per_cpu from 2 to 0.   However, since we
never did the analyze in parallel, I don't think it was an issue.

Any other ideas?   I'd like to be able to give our application owners some
explanation.

Thanks,

Cherie
