Hi Jared,
Actually I think monitoring won't work in my case. Data loads fire throughout the day and the docs say that in 8i, analyze can fire based upon table monitoring sometime within 3 hours after data changes. I would rather include a manual fire of analyze in my data load and avoid any locking issues or contention for resources.
In addition, if temp space is blown during "auto-analyze" (fired based upon monitoring), would I know about it?
Just my thoughts. Am I wrong?
Lisa

You may want to read up on table monitoring.
