replace_dual.sql
In some cases the data block for SYS.DUAL can be a hot block in cache. This script replaces the SYS.DUAL table with a view onto X$DUAL, thereby eliminating the cache access entirely.
Please note: This is not a normal, supported procedure. So do not do it on a production system, unless you have discussed the matter fully with Oracle Support beforehand.

-----Original Message-----

Can anyone tell me the performance issues related to the excessive usage of the DUAL table in pl/sql procedures?
I remember reading an article about this ( I dont remember if it was in ASKTOM site ) wherein it was told that excessive usage of DUAL comes with a cost and there was a suggestion in that to create a view on the system table X$DUAL.. If anybody has a link to that please send it to me.
