Ian

Maybe just the semantics are causing bother..

Any parse call on a statement will always end up as a parse (soft or hard) and many programmatic environments (SQL Plus for example) always requests a parse for every statement entered. The session cache will make this process quicker.

However - due to that above fact that many environments always parse every time you run a statement, maybe some posters use the term "a statement" and "execution of a statement" interchangeably..and of course, the key for whizz-bang performance is to separate the two and aim for multiple executions of a single statement - something that (for example) you could not simulate in SQL Plus, but certainly could in PL/SQL

Cheers
Connor
