No, of course not. Personally I never estimate statistics, I always compute, but Oracle recommends 20 percent, not 0.5 A histogram with a bucket size of 1 is ridiculous, as the default is 2 Degree is 8 is only useful if you have that many cpu's. Gather stale means you should have set up monitor (alter table ... monitor) and it will analyze the tables with expired statistics *only*. You should leave that option out for the time being. My default method_opt is 'for all indexed columns size 200'. Note if Oracle doesn't need 200 buckets, you won't get 200 buckets!
