Hello,

This is an example that I've tried on 2 differnt versions of Oracle 10.2.0.5 and 11.2.0.2 because after trying on 10.2.0.5 I thought its likely to be a bug but the fact that its not working for 11.2.0.2 either for me puts me in doubt. Here is the test case :

SQL> select object_id, data_object_id from dba_objects where object_name = 'COL_USAGE$';
 OBJECT_ID DATA_OBJECT_ID

       473 473

However, there are several segments with this stats populaed :

SQL> select count(*) from v$segstat where statistic_name = 'segment scans'   2 and value > 5;
  COUNT(*)


       354
SQL>
(I am pasting here just one test case of 11.2.0.2, 10.2.0.5 is identical as well).

So am I doing something wrong please? I started this test case because there was a query which using FTS in my 10.2.0.5 Live DB with about 150 executions in V$SQL - I thot lemme check the seg stats for segment scans and they were 0 (even in AWR). This is confusing.

Any help will be appreciated? I am starting to wonder whether all other type of stats are then relaible or not!?

Thanks.
