Hi Experts,
I have one basic question:-
How can we know if the statiscs on a table are stale or empty.
Regards,
Varun Punj

LAST_ANALYZED column in DBA_TABLES has the date of the last statistics.

>How can we know if the statiscs on a table are stale or empty.
Empty is easy because no statistics exist.
Stale is next to impossible to determine programatically.
If LAST_ANALYZED is a "long" time ago but the underlying data has not changed, then statistics are not stale.

If LAST_ANALZED is "recent" but data has changed significantly, then statistics are stale.
.
You could just trust Oracle to keep them current

We can find stale statisics from the following query:-

SELECT * FROM DBA_TAB_STATISTICS WHERE STALE_STATS='YES';

Please tell me how to find information about empty statistics.
