Lisa, On our home grown partitioned databases, I am still using the ANALYZE command for partitions. There were some bugs associated with DBMS_STATS and partitions, although I don't remember the specifics at the moment (it may have been with 8.1.6). I haven't had a chance to go back and see

extents question on LMT

Re: extents question on LMT

1) No, you can't compress into a single extent if the TBS is LMT with uniform extent size, and the size of the index is extent size. Don't know about auto extent size feature. 2) Why would you want to compress into a single extent? There's no benefit to doing so. Jared Guang Mei [EMAIL

If I remember right, global stats are computed/inferred from partition level stats if its available. If thats the case, then it may make sense to compute/estimate the stats at the partition level. You also have the advantage of being able to run analyze each partition in parallel. Regards,
