In order to make good use of the cost based optimizer, you need to create statistics for the data in the database.

Hi,
1) unless index is in an invalid or unusable state, it is very unlikely that it would ever need a rebuild
http://richardfoote.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/index-internals-rebuilding-the-truth.pdf
2) ANALYZE is obsolete, don't use it anymore
3) DBMS_STATS is the way to go (you don't necessarily have to call GATHER_INDEX_STATS explicitly, you can also use CASCADE=>true option in GATHER_TABLE_STATS)
Best regards,

Thank for your reply.
Please explain me Index Rebuild ONLINE

Why are you asking to rephrase what is already explained in the online documentation?

Hi ,
I am able to understand the DBMS_STATS from this link.
Could you please give me 2 lines answers for what are the advantages if we use DBMS_STATS -
