1 Compress=Y in dictionary managed tablespaces is one of the main
reasons for space management related incidents. Your tablespace becomes
fragmented.
In a locally managed tablespace using compress=Y doesn't make sense.
Oracle introduced locally managed tablespaces, because dictionary
managed tablespaces are causing all kind of space management related
incidents.
Changing a locally managed tablespace to dictionary managed doesn't
make sense, and is not possible if your SYSTEM tablespace is locally
managed.
In Oracle 10g dictionary managed tablespaces no longer exist.
So I don't know what you are trying to accomplish, except running into
more problems.
I can only hope you don't still believe more than 1 extent is bad. This
is a MYTH.
2 There is no relation. The configuration of the tablespace is
irrelevant to dbms_stats.
