| Subj: |  | Re: Stats collection on Index Column |  |  |  | From: |  | Michael Larkins |  
 It was written earlier: |  | Ideally you should collect stats on every index - be it UPI, NUPI, USI or NUSI... especially NUSI as it might help optimizer choose it over
Full Table Scan. |  | 
 
 
 Although the NUSI comment is absolutely correct, I question the need for stats on a USI.  It is always a two-AMP operation with or without
stats.  Since each set of stats can take a far amount of time on a larger table, I would strongly rethink the need for them on a USI.
