Hi All,

Can someone tell me what analyzing a table does to existing indexes ?
Do I need to rebuild the indexes after dbms_stats.gather_table_stats command ?

Thanks in advance

If you use "cascade=>TRUE" it will also analyse the indexes of the table.

ECSCDAP1P > execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('SCOTT','EMP',estimate_percent=>100,cascade=>TRUE);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

"cascade=>TRUE" also works for all the indexes if you gather stats at the schema level.

ECSCDAP1P > EXEC dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('SCOTT', cascade=>TRUE);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
