RE: DBMS_STATS in 8.1.6

DBMS_STATS only gathers stats that the optimizer needs. For example, the CHAIN_CNT field is not updated because the optimizer doesn't need it. I hate this because now I don't know if the table has chained or migrated rows. The ANALYZE command still gives you this information.

Well, it has some bugs with GATHER EMPTY and GATHER STALE on your release. However, I set it in some clients and it is working fine. As an advice, don't use those options, reduce the size of the bucket just to generate statistics quickly, lastly if you decide against DBMS_STATS, don't run statistics with analyze because it doesn't generate any.

I set it with monitoring option and as I said it is working fine. I was cautious just to exclude tables that recently been truncated. However, it is working fine.

Regards.
