RE: DBA_EXTENTS problem

I have recently changed the analyze script. Earliar it was dbms_utility.analyze_schema(...) statement, It is now changed to dbms_stats.gather_database_stats();

Is this a problem?

The response time for select count(*) from dba_extents is also 30 minutes. It is not specific to any table.
Thanks,
-- Babu

that's interesting... since the data dictionary is NOT analyzed, setting optimizer_mode=choose would force the query against dba_extents to RULE which it
what it is supposed to be doing anyway, Hm. The question now is, what is the optimizer_mode set to when the problem happens? Did any of the data dictionary
tables get accidentally analyzed? And -- how many extents are in use in the database? Could it just be a symptom of missized tables and indexes so that the
number of extents is way high?

Although Oracle is *supposed* to allow unlimited extents, in practice anything
higher than 4096 extents in an object (at least in 8i) tends to slow things down.

Babu,

We had a similiar problem, and setting optimizer_mode = choose in our session solved it. Something to do with optimizer and DD access. Give that a try. I had the same problem with DBA_INDEXES and that fixed it.

hth,

Jack
