Rick: I've had problems trying to "slip in" an analyze on an index during production hours. Our on-line users will see timeouts if the analyze is lengthy. I assume analyze table will cause the same problem.
I decided to prove my case by analyzing a table and the looking for locks. I didn't see any. I repeatedly looked at v$lock during the entire time I was analyzing the table, and I did not see a lock occur. I tried the same experiment analying an index, and again did not see a lock occur. I'd be interested in any other responses you receive. Thx.
