Need some expert opinion please:

For Data Warehouse system
- Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 EE/AIX 4.3.3
- 35 GB prod database
- biggest table is 44 million rows with 5 partitions, biggest partition is 12 million rows and growing ..
- major data load is whole day Sunday, ready for Monday morning
- smaller scale incremental load through out the week (previous days work).
- Database in cost-based optimization (all_rows)

How often should the tables be analyzed ?
compute or estimate statistics ?
compute all or limited size (x % or y rows) ?
I am thinking once a week ?
(Analyzing 2 schemas take about 3-4 hours)

Thank you.

I don't think you need to do a full analyze. Estimate should be sufficient. Estimating takes much less time. Use the DBMS_STATS package to collect them instead. I find that it works better than the analyze table statement on partitioned tables.
