Re: CBO Question - Is 'monitoring' used to calculate query plan?

I recall now that a statistics level of BASIC disables this.

The copy of the docs I have do not have the bit about Monitoring in them.

It still doesn't answer the question however of "Does the CBO use the stats seen in all_tab_modifications for query plans?"
