I remembered a similar problem on a 12.1 database from long time ago.

sys.wri$_optstat_tab_history was growing.

I figured out the statistics purging job was executing the following delete:

DELETE /*+ dynamic_sampling(4) */

      FROM  sys.wri$_optstat_tab_history
      WHERE     savtime < :1
            AND savtime > TIMESTAMP '1900-01-01 00:00:00 -0:0'
            AND ROWNUM <= NVL ( :2, ROWNUM);

I assume that :1 was systimestamp-retention.

The key point was that the statistics from the 19th century weren’t considered for deleting.

Statistics for two tables were from long ago:

select table_name,last_analyzed from dba_tables where table_name in
(select object_name from dba_objects where object_id in
( select obj# from sys.tab$ where analyzetime in (select max(analyzetime) from sys.tab$ where analyzetime is not null ) ));
TABLE_NAME LAST_ANALYZED
TAB1 01.01.0001
TAB2 01.01.0001 These weren’t considered by the delete.

To rule this out, check for strange last_analyzed entries.

I don’t know the origin of these entries. There were already there when I started the job. I couldn’t find v$database.created in my notes, but people who have been here longer swear that the database was created in this century.

I reset the last_analyzed by setting manually setting statistics, which fixed the problem:

exec dbms_stats.set_table_stats( OWNNAME=>'K',TABNAME=>'TAB1',NUMROWS=>10000); exec dbms_stats.set_table_stats( OWNNAME=>'K',TABNAME=>'TAB2',NUMROWS=>10000);

Best regards,

Nenad
