GATHER_STATS_JOB是10g开始引入的自动统计数据收集功能的重要组成部分，但是这个定时任务带来的问题也是较多的，应当根据应用的具体情况进行定制，通过DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS可以查询JOB的执行情况：
SQL> col job_name for a20
SQL> col owner for a5
SQL> col last_start_date for a36
SQL> col last_run_duration for a30
SQL> col state for a10
SQL> SELECT owner,job_name,state,last_start_date,last_run_duration,failure_count
2 FROM dba_scheduler_jobs WHERE job_name = 'GATHER_STATS_JOB';
OWNER JOB_NAME STATE LAST_START_DATE LAST_RUN_DURATION FAILURE_COUNT
----- -------------------- ---------- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------------
SYS GATHER_STATS_JOB SCHEDULED 09-SEP-09 10.00.01.0**40 PM +08:00 +000000000 00:10:02.536139 0
进一步的，通过dba_scheduler_job_run_details表可以获得JOB的执行情况细节，一下显示JOB都执行成功：
SQL> col job_name for a20
SQL> SELECT log_id, job_name, status,
2 TO_CHAR (log_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI') log_date
3 FROM dba_scheduler_job_run_details
4 WHERE job_name = 'GATHER_STATS_JOB';

这个JOB任务运行的具体过程如下：
SQL> select PROGRAM_ACTION from dba_scheduler_programs where PROGRAM_NAME = 'GATHER_STATS_PROG';

以下是一个TB级海量数据库的统计数据收集情况，可以看到这个任务在很多时候于凌晨6：00被强制停止，因为数据量太大，分析不完了，而在周末全天运行时，有时候可以完成任务：
SQL> SELECT log_id, job_name, status,
2 TO_CHAR (log_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI') log_date
3 FROM dba_scheduler_job_run_details
4 WHERE job_name = 'GATHER_STATS_JOB' order by 1;
