RE: System statistics and dbfmbrc - heads up

Actually, this occurred in 9.2.0.8.  

We use date converted to Julian as the statid and had to append a character to it after the upgrade.

Hi Niall,  

Our appproach here is    

b) we collect system stats each day during a 1hr "peak" period. (Stress "collect" not "activate")  

Just a heads up to everyone going down this route. DBMS_STATS has been updated in 11.1 (and according to the docs in 10.2) so that the STATID has to be a valid 'identifier', that precludes both date and number strings, or else enclosed in double quotes. I personally think this a shame since it seems to me that either dates or id numbers would make excellent STATID values.
