DBMS_SCHEDULER problem.
Mladen Gogala
schedule for GATHER_STATS_JOB, without having to create a new job. As a
matter of fact, DBMS_SCHEDULER has nothing like DBMS_JOB.CHANGE. I think
I will create a new job using DBMS_JOB. Is anybody aware of anything I
can do without having to drop and re-create the job?

For all those to recommend reading about SET_ATTRIBUTE, it doesn't help:
1 begin
2 dbms_scheduler.set_attribute(
3 name=>'GATHER_STATS_JOB',
4 attribute=>'repeat_interval',
5 value=>'freq=minutely;bymonthday=1');
6* end;
SQL> /
begin
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-27488: unable to set REPEAT_INTERVAL because SCHEDULE_NAME, EVENT_SPEC
was/were already set
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 2876
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 1847
ORA-06512: at line 2
In other words, it is already set, it can't be changed without dropping
and re-creating it.

Problem was solved by DBMS_SCHEDULER.ATTRIBUTE_SET_NULL(
name=> 'GATHER_STATS_JOB',
attribute => 'SCHEDULE_NAME');
Awkward as heck. I still believe that a call to modify job directly
would be very useful.
