Hi,

Queries with high version counts can cause library cache latch contention, as the query must hold that latch during soft parse and has to go through the entire list of query versions in the data dictionary. High version_count's are often caused by a high number of invalidations on the query. Invalidations of a query can be caused by a number of different things (one is the bug with timed_statistics, another is a bug present up to 8.1.6.3 in some instances when materialized views are used), other causes of invalidations are analyzing a dependent table or index, or truncating a dependent table.

If this is causing you a problem, the next step is to track down what the cause of your high version_counts is, and work to correct it or workaround it (depending on the frequency that the query is executed, a shared pool flush may remove all versions (or none)). If it's not causing you a service problem currently, I would still keep an eye on it, as the version_count for queries rises, the chances of getting severe contention on the library cache latch increases.
