Hello,
I have a test on 11gr2 with dbms_stats.gather_table_stats,but I got a wrong SQL plan,
is this a bug on 11gr2?
SQL> create table t as select 1 id, a.* from dba_objects a;

表已创建。

SQL> update t set id=2 where rownum=1;

已更新 1 行。

SQL> create index idx_t on t(id);

索引已创建。

SQL>  select id, count(*) from t group by id;

        ID   COUNT(*)
---------- ----------
         1      72524
         2          1

SQL>

SQL> set autotrace traceonly exp;
SQL>  select * from t where id = 2;

Note

   - dynamic sampling used for this statement (level=2)

-------WRONG SQL plan,because id=2 just 1 record in table T,CBO should choose INDEX SCAN,but here is FULL TABLE SCAN.

Nice Post!

>Plan hash value: 1594971208 (top)
Bytes=220
>Plan hash value: 1594971208 (bottom)
Bytes=103

why the difference?

You question is somewhat confusing. Did you

1) get the wrong answer?

2) get a plan you don't like?

IF #2 then what can anyone say. The optimizer is good, but not perfect.

IF #1 then TAR w/ Oracle Support as there are known issues where certain optimizations produce incorrect results. They are few and rare but if you got wrong results they want to know about it.

Good luck, Kevin

I want ONE record(id=2) from a table which have nearly 70K rows ,why CBO choose a FULL TABLE SCAN,it is a expensive cost .

If there were NO statistics on the table T,Oracle use dynamic sampling ,it gets a nice plan.

I don't *know* the answer, but here's my best guess:

Dynamic Sampling: When Dynamic Sampling was performed, the CBO already knew what it was looking for: ID=2. During the sample, it found either 0 or 1 row with ID=2 and all the rest with ID=1, so it knew that ID=2 was unusual enough to benefit from an index.

Gather Table Stats: DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS samples each column to determine whether it should build a histogram or not. The sampling process may have found every row with ID=1, so it could only build a histogram with one bucket (ie. useless). When the SQL ran, Oracle knew that ID was a non-selective column, so it did not use an index. Theoretically it could have looked at the ENDPOINT_NUMBER of the one-bucket histogram and realised that ID=2 was outside of that bucket (and therefore rare), but it seems it did not.

Analyze: You used COMPUTE with the Analyze, so it *definitely* saw the ID=2 row - realised the column was skewed, and create a 2-bucket histogram. When the SQL came along it knew from the histogram that ID=2 was selective.

Lesson: If your column is *so* skewed that sampling is unlikely to see the rare values, then increase your sample percent - to 100% if necessary.

Plausible. Perhaps a case the new AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE didn't catch.
