size=2>Significant documentation has already been produced showing the overhead associated with the code.  The effect of shutting off 'literal only' sql on the QA system would centralize the problem in a single location, and allow the parties involved to correct the code before moving to staging or production.  Setting cursor_share=force is a workaround.  Thanks.

What
about something that would interfere with the parser?  What about language code pages?  Replace the  ' and ''  with something else that would cause the parse to fail?  Has anyone coded an exit on the parser?

  The key word is valid.  Threatening to throw   a switch and blow up any SQL that contains literals is a threat, but is   it a valid threat?
   
  I mean, what was your previous job, suicide   bomber?
   
  Seriously, providing accurate measurement of how   much the extra parsing now costs, along with an evaluation of current CPU use   and an estimate of how much longer they have before the system bottlenecks   might be a touch more civilized.
