Hi Ed
have you tried cursor_sharing=force ? I dont know what version of oracle you have and there are some known problems but maybe it can help you with literal sql statements and then decreasing size of shared_pool. Ivo

Hi Steve,

yes, you're absolutely right. I've inhereted that system. The shared_pool_size = 750M. I believe it's HUGE and oversized. The application code is mostly based on literal SQL. The miss rate on the shared pool is normally about 15%-20% with periodical peaks up to 50%. But the previous DBA insist that we shouldn't decrease the size of shared pool as the miss rate will be much higher. He also setup periodical flushing every 3 hours (I assume he did it in order to prevent ORA-4031). If I undestand the things right, deacresing of shared_pool_size will decrease load on shared pool latch _but_ contention on the library latches will be higher because of higher parse rate. Is it correct and what's your advice in my case?

Thanks in advance,
Ed
