RE: Question On High Parse to execute ratio

In fact, in 8.1.7.2, it can cause *incorrect* results in certain queries without reporting an error! 8.1.7.4 is supposed to be a little more stable (applying that minipack to production as this is typed), and 9iR2 is reported to be even better.

For us, it was CS=F or die (dead server, die trying to revamp 10Ks of lines of code, etc). We chose CS=F. It definitely is not as good as good code, but it is a pretty good stopgap, if you are aware of the risks! See Metalink for the warnings, especially in the BUG area.

GL!
