I don't have much insight into gather system stats, but a few days ago, as per one TAR we were supposed to collect them.

In this TAR, we used "_optimizer_cost_model"=cpu at session-level as a workaround, then one of the queries in question, picked-up an index as it was supposed to.  After gathering system stats for about 30 mins, and 'not' specifying the above, the plan still showed using the index. But, when we gathered the stats for 6 Hrs (today), the plan didn't pick up the index. When we deleted the stats and specified the above parameter, the index again got picked-up. So we are still going back-and-forth with Oracle as to when and how often do we collect system stats on our 9.2.0.6 database. We have a plan to go to 10G soon where I believe this is done by default.

Thanks,
Deepak
