[20170612]FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE repeat(11g).txt

--//昨天看了https://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2017/06/01/histogram-upgrade-2/,提到了直方图的问题,
--//特别是FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE repeat引起的问题,在一些特殊情况要注意.

--//可以发现E-rows 与 A-rows 差距不大,而12c的情况就不同了.12c如果使用method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS size repeat'后,
--//bucket=2,直方图变成了混合型直方图.也就是如果升级12c,要注意分析方法method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS size repeat'带来的问题.
--//再写有点长,另外写看12c的测试.

--//当然如果数据模型没有发生变化,问题可以不考虑.
