Schema analyze takes lot of time
We use Oracle 9i on Windows 2003 server. Our schema analyze is taking long time to complete ( more than 5 hours to complete 40% estimate for schema and 4 hours for another schema).
We use following command to take statistics:
exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(SCHEMA_NAME,40,cascade=>TRUE);
Please let me know how can we reduce the time? Do you suggest to take stats daily basis? We have several tables which are modified daily.
