Nope. All tables are a degree of 1. And according to the docs, specifying the degree parameter when calling DBMS_STATS overrides the table default. Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA

I'd be interested to know of the bugs you've found on DBMS_STATS; most of the bugs I've seen logged against it were created due to differences with ANALYZE, and in the end it was determined that ANALYZE produced the wrong result, not DBMS_STATS... Anyway, the symptoms you describe match those
