Craig I'm sorry, you said they were on the same instance, I just didn't read carefully enough. I believe that all the statistics that CBO uses to make a decision are in USER_TABLES and USER_INDEXES. You might compare the values for both tables to see if there is a difference that might cause the CBO to make a different decision. Are you using different usernames? Any chance one session is doing an ALTER SESSION?

No, I didn't do anything to the tables. I did drop and recreate the index that was being used, to no effect. I use analyze from within TOAD, and tried estimating and computing statistics, and calculated statistics on the index when I recreated it. I haven't tried deleting statistics. Never used histograms before. Dennis - Same instance, we're using separate schemas for test and production.
