3.2 oidstats.sql

Use the Oracle Internet Directory Database Statistics Collection Tool (oidstats.sql) to analyze the various database ods (Oracle Directory Server) schema objects to estimate the statistics. It is located in the following directory: $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin/. You must run this utility whenever there are significant changes in directory data—including the initial load of data into the directory.

If you load data into the directory by any means other than the bulk load tool (bulkload.sh), then you must run the Oracle Internet Directory Database Statistics Collection tool after loading. Statistics collection is essential for the Oracle Optimizer to choose an optimal plan in executing the queries corresponding to the LDAP operations. You can run Oracle Internet Directory Database Statistics Collection tool at any time, without shutting down any of the Oracle Internet Directory daemons.

Note:

If you do not use the bulkload utility to populate the directory, then you must run the oidstats.sql tool to avoid significant search performance degradation.
