    Is it required the analyze the SYSTEM and SYS schema in Oracle 9i..?

    We generally analyze the data schema.

    Required? No.
    Recommended? No.

    You should not use the ANALYZE command to collect statistical information on the tables owned by user SYS, as using the Cost-Base Optimizer (CBO) is not supported against dictionary views. This has always been the case and will be in the forseeable future.

    Look at what I found in Metalink:

    Prior to Oracle9i the advice of support was that users should "NOT analyze the data dictionary tables (SYS tables) unless you have a very strong reason to do so". With the desupport of the RBO pending in 10i there will only be a CBO so the dictionary will need to be analyzed. The dictionary can now be analyzed without any problems. Note that whilst DBMS_UTILITY.ANALYZE_SCHEMA can be used against the SYS schema Oracle does not perform any regression tests with these tables analyzed and so it is possible that deadlocks or performance problems may be encountered. Also note that a significant number of large databases run extremely succesfully with an analyzed dictionary.

    MetaLink: That's where I looked for the quote I posted - question has come up before. But Rowena's statement looks wishy-washy.
