    histogram is the metadata.
    ie, data (distribution) about your tables, columns and indexes.

    when you analyze these objects your metadata gets updated.

    oracle builds its execution plan for SQLs that
    operate on these objects based on this metadata.

    explain plan shows you the execution plan.

    if the data distribution has changed considerably,
    you need to analyze.

    all the best!

    Hmmm... Thomas Kyte advices to use "DBMS_STATS" in stead of "ANALYZE"...

    You can use "desc dbms_stats" to find the parameters...

    A rather sweeping statement that -- do you mean it shouldn't be used in 9i?
