41.You have recently collected statistics on certain objects of a schema in your database. But you
observe suboptimal execution plans for the queries on these objects after two days of statistics collection.
The optimizer statistics retention period is set to its default value.
Which action would help to use the previous set of statistics on the objects?
A.Restore statistics from statistics history.
B.Reduce the optimizer statistics retention period by 2 days.
C.Set the OPTIMIZER_PENDING_STATISTICS parameter to TRUE.
D.Reduce the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) retention period by 2 days.
答案：A
解析：题目说的是，优化器收集统计信息的周期为默认值，最近你在一个schema的object上收集了统计信息，但是发现
对于查询的执行计划不如之前的不太好，你应该怎么做
A：从统计信息历史记录中restore
B：减少统计信息的保留时间
C：设置OPTIMIZER_PENDING_STATISTICS为true
D：减少awr的保留时间
从这里可以看出应该选择A，那A是干啥的
