Are the statistics of DBMS_STATS and ANALYZE compatible?
The two types of statistics are not fully compatible, which causes problems when you create DBMS_STATS statistics for objects with ANALYZE statistics and vice versa. For more information, see Note 489352. When changing the method, you should therefore first delete statistics using the function of the method used to date (“ANALYZE TABLE … DELETE STATISTICS” or DBMS_STATS.DELETE_…_STATS) before new statistics are created. Deletion of these old statistics has already been implemented in current versions of BRCONNECT and BW.
