SYSAUX tablespace growing out of control
Question regarding the dbms_stats.purge_stats utility. My tablespace has grown to about 20GB with 18GB of that being data from SYS.WRI$_OPTSTAT_HISTHEAD_HISTORY. I believe we are encountering the bug where the automatic purging does not work because the MMON process that submits it times out since it is so large. I have tried manually submitting the dbms_stats.purge_stats query and it takes forever to run. I have devised a work around and would like to know if anyone sees any issues with it. I would also like to note that this database is part of an Oracle E-Business Suite environment.
