Hi all,

I am looking at a performance issue at the moment and trying to replicate on a test system. I am initially looking at the impact of upto-date statistics on the main schema's objects.

For this I wanted to:

first run the batch with whatever stats were present in the database
Flashback the db to before the batch
Gather stats
Re-run the batch with updated stats and compare results.

However, I inadvertently ran the stats job before running the load the first time! I have the SCN from when the environment was set up like production (ie before the stats were run) so am I correct in saying that if I flashback to this point then the stats will be "old" and I can just run the batch then? I know I can verify this when I Flashback the database by looking at LAST_ANALYZED on tables etc but it would be good to know this before hand as it's a 12 hour batch.

Thanks (and I hope I have explained this OK).

H

PS: If anyone has any official Oracle link to the treatment of statistics with Flashback Database then that would be great too.

Welcome to the forum. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

A database flashback is functionally identical to an incomplete recovery. So after the flashback, you statistics will be as they were - as will evwerything else.

hth, John.
