Do you have a particular issue with this approach? Why doesn't this work for you?

Does Oracle use stale stats for the CBO if fresh stats aren't available or does Oracle treat stale stats the same as non-existant stats? Is there a way, other than re-analyzing the table or index, to keep stats from being marked as stale?

We have tables that are being truncated nightly and then being re-loaded with data that is 99.99% identical with the previsous data. (Don't bother telling me that we shouldn't be doing it that way; I have to play with the cards I'm dealt.) I have the schema stats locked and the automatic stats job is disabled. (It insisted on computing new stats on the table when it was at 0 rows.) Oracle is marking the stats as STALE.

Other than exporting the good stats and re-importing them daily, is there any way to stop Oracle from marking the stats as stale?
