"snapshot too old " and undo_retention 2005-09-30 - By Robyn
Roger,
found the note i referred to below (SAP note 797629). It mentions
issues with 'performance problems as of Oracle 9.2.0.6 because of the
corrected histogram bug' - basically SAP says they coded around this
bug, and now that Oracle has fixed it, their code will degrade in
performance if you use histograms. May also be true for 9.2.0.5 due
to bind variable peeking. Your stats statement will create a
histogram, so if you're on 9.2.0.5 or .6, i'd run a lot of tests
before gathering stats with that statement in production.
