running 9.2.0.5 on AIX5 with compatible parameter set to 8.1.7 and
using DMT.
Everything I've read so far was that dbms_stats was the best thing next
to sliced bread. I just read in a manual though that it doesn't update
freelist block information. So what do you do? revert back to analyze
until you can start using LMT? I know that I have a large amount of
blocks on the freelist and I suspect that we have a bad freelist
contention problem with all of our tables set to 1 freelist with 1
group on an system that is a combination oltp with large batch jobs. Is
there a better way to get freelist block information? Is it true that
dbms_stats doesn't gather freelist info?
