Card Puncher Data Processing

About

The stattab is a table that permits to:

  • store statistics outside the data dictionary
  • and therefore make comparison

This table is used within the DBMS_STATS package.

Only statistics stored in the dictionary have an impact on the cost-based optimizer.

How to

Create

You can create the stattab table with the CREATE_STAT_TABLE Procedure

-- will create the stattab table in the current schema
BEGIN
   DBMS_STATS.CREATE_STAT_TABLE(null,'stattab');
END;
/
