The trace seems to be from when the index is not analyzed. The CBO then uses defaults for the index statistics - leaf_blocks=25 and clustering factor=800. These defaults are much lower than when the index is analyzed and the resulting cost for using the index is very low (7 compared to 1676 for

RE: Timestamps in trace files

Ah. I think that the kernel will only emit a timestamp line immediately before writing a db call or wait event to the trace data. This is a similar trigger to the one that the kernel uses for writing a PARSING IN CURSOR (PIC) section to the trace stream. You'll only see the PIC section immediately

I don't know what the triggering event is for the kernel to "decide" when to emit a timestamp line to its trace data. But I have found that the frequency is nicely convenient for adjusting for clock drift. You could set up an experiment to figure it out as follows: Make a program that exec
