Once again I turn to the gurus.

I have a vendor who is nervous about the Oracle managed statistics
(target object auto). They don't like seeing objects with statistics
older than a month.

My choices are:
1) Fight a battle "re: are the statistics REALLY stale".
This will be long and futile, since management likes vendors.
2) Change the frequency/agressiveness of the auto analyze.
3) Run the full analyze every day/week/2 weeks.
Waste of resources / 8i way of doing things.

Since I haven't played with the statistics area of GRID or 10g, I
would like to take that approach.

Is there a way to adjust Oracle's threshold?

Thanks,

Oracle 10.2.0.3 on Red Hat 3.
Three node RAC.

GRID shows the script as:
begin
dbms_stats.gather_database_stats(
options=> 'GATHER AUTO');
end;

Last night it analyzed 222 objects in 8.46 minutes. This left 899
tables and 1553 indexes analyzed before September 22 (vendor has a
tizzy).

Then the vendor doesn't know Oracle as well as he/she thinks. If
Oracle isn't complaining (and I know you know this) why is he/she?
Apparntly because there is just enough knowledge in the vendor's
arsenal to be dangerous. Unfortunately management tends to favor this
vendor over real knowledge/expertise.

Unfortunately I don't know of any way to 'speed up' or shorten the
time period between statistics collection on monitored tables/indexes,
outside of possibly some dummy insert/delete transaction to 'fool'
Oracle into thinking the data has changed. Then, I'm not bothered by
the interval that may pass between computations.

The next time this vendor has a 'tizzy' I'd auction it on eBay and see
what you can get. I understand a 'tizzy' in near mint condition can
fetch a hefty price. <g>
