In Oracle 11g: The automatic statistics gathering job for Oracle 11g is an internal procedure named GATHER_DATABASE_STATS_JOB_PROC.
Below are the steps in case if we want to delete & gather schema stats on adhoc basis.
Gathering statistics for all objects in a schema
- Ensure that the automatic statistics gathering job is scheduled, using the following SQL.
SELECT ENABLED FROM DBA_SCHEDULER_PROGRAMS WHERE PROGRAM_NAME = 'GATHER_STATS_PROG';
Output should be 'TRUE'.
Note: GATHER_STATS_PROG is the program that runs the internal procedure GATHER_DATABASE_STATS_JOB_PROC.
- Delete any existing statistics, using the following command from SQLPLUS.
EXEC DBMS_STATS.DELETE_SCHEMA_STATS('SCOTT');
- Change the default "ESTIMATE_PERCENT" to 100% for DBMS_STATS. Use the following procedure from SQLPLUS to change the default. Run this using the Oracle SYSDBA user ID:
EXEC DBMS_STATS.SET_PARAM('ESTIMATE_PERCENT','100');
- Run GATHER_DATABASE_STATS using the following command from SQLPLUS. Run this command using the Oracle SYSDBA user ID.
EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DATABASE_STATS(ESTIMATE_PERCENT => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE, METHOD_OPT => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO', DEGREE => 2, CASCADE => TRUE);
Gather Schema statistics
exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(
ownname => 'SCOTT',
cascade => TRUE,
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO' );
Gathering statistics an individual table
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( -
ownname => ' Schema_name ', -
tabname => ' Table_name ', -
estimate_percent => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE, -
cascade => TRUE, -
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO' );
ownname => ' Schema_name ', -
tabname => ' Table_name ', -
estimate_percent => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE, -
cascade => TRUE, -
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO' );
NOTE: For a more cautious approach as outlined in the text above and where column statistics are known not to be beneficial, Replace:
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
with
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1'
Note that the defaults for statistics gathering on different versions of Oracle are not necessarily the same, for example:
- ESTIMATE_PERCENT: defaults:
- 9i : 100%
- 10g : DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE (using very small estimate percentage)
- 11g: DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE (using larger estimate percentage - 100%)
- METHOD_OPT: defaults:
- 9i: "FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1" effectively no detailed column statistics.
- 10g and 11g: "FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO" - This setting means that DBMS_STATS decides which columns to add histogram to where it believes that they may help to produce a better plan.
Export and Import schema statistics
Easy way to export and import schema statistics – in case the optimizer is behaving strangely and you want to re-import old statistics when the optimizer behaved properly.
Create the table to store the statistics-
EXEC DBMS_STATS.CREATE_STAT_TABLE(‘TEST’, ‘STATS_TABLE’);
Export schema stats – will be stored in the ‘STATS_TABLE’
EXEC DBMS_STATS.export_schema_stats(‘TEST’,’STATS_TABLE’,NULL,’TEST’);
If required import these statistics back to TEST schema.
EXEC DBMS_STATS.import_schema_stats(‘TEST’,’STATS_TABLE’,NULL,’TEST’);
Finally drop the table created to backup the schema stats
EXEC DBMS_STATS.drop_stat_table(‘TEST’,’STATS_TABLE’);
