    Dudes:

    When you truncate a table are the performance tuning stats removed from the data dictionary?

    My guess is not - they would remain and be inaccurate until analyze was run again?

    Thanks - rev

    Why don't you try it for yourself, it is trivial to test it. Just truncate the table and verify what happens with NUM_ROWS (or any other statistics related columns) in USER_TABLES for that table.

    You'll find out that statistics remain unchanged.
