Whenever statistics in the dictionary are modified, old versions of statistics are saved automatically for future restoring. The old statistics are purged automatically at regular intervals based on the statistics history retention setting and the time of recent statistics gathering performed in the system. Retention is configurable using the ALTER_STATS_HISTORY_RETENTION procedure. The default value is 31 days.
That is normally not too big an issue but in our Peoplesoft environments we run a lot of gather_stats jobs and if the retention period is not managed then the SYSAUX tablespaces can grow very large. In one of our systems the SYSAUX tablespace was 37Gb with over 32Gb consisting of the stats tables and assoc iated indexes. This blog entry will provide the scripts to diagnose and correct excessive tablespace growth due to retained statistics

How long old stats are kept
1
| select dbms_stats.get_stats_history_retention from dual; |
Set retention of old stats to 10 days
1
| exec dbms_stats.alter_stats_history_retention(10); |
Purge stats older than 10 days (best to do this in stages if there is a lot of data (sysdate-30,sydate-25 etc)
1
| exec DBMS_STATS.PURGE_STATS(SYSDATE-10); |
Show available stats that have not been purged
1
| select dbms_stats.get_stats_history_availability from dual; |

Note that you cannot enable row movement and shrink the tables as the indexes are function based

Run the rebuild table commands – note that this does cause any gather_stats jobs to fail
alter table WRI$_OPTSTAT_TAB_HISTORY move tablespace sysaux;
alter table WRI$_OPTSTAT_IND_HISTORY move tablespace sysaux;
alter table WRI$_OPTSTAT_HISTHEAD_HISTORY move tablespace sysaux;
alter table WRI$_OPTSTAT_HISTGRM_HISTORY move tablespace sysaux;
alter table WRI$_OPTSTAT_AUX_HISTORY move tablespace sysaux;
alter table WRI$_OPTSTAT_OPR move tablespace sysaux;
alter table WRH$_OPTIMIZER_ENV move tablespace sysaux;
