RE: DBA_EXTENTS problem

I thought using DBMS_STATS is much more efficient than the old method. I have recently read an article about it in Oracle magazine, Jan/Feb 2002 Page 32, then I changed the analyze script.

I would appreciate if anyone sends me a script to delete the SYS/SYSTEM statistics.

Thanks,

I *think* there was a bug where it would also analyze SYS when you gathered database stats... why did you go from analyzing at the schema level to analyzing
the entire database?

You will need to delete the stats if they are there for any object owned by SYS.
since I've never done this, I don't have a script to delete the stats... I know
I've seen it posted to the list.. anyone have a copy?

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.

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
