Optimizer stats on RMAN catalog schema
I have an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database using the same release of the catalog schema, and just to the Oracle-provided DBMS scheduler job GATHER_STATS_JOB to run stats on this database. It was sufficient, but lately, any REPORT command in RMAN or any "resync catalog" is taking longer and longer. Should I be running dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats for the schema owner of the catalog schema???
