Re: RBO changes plan from 8i to 9i

Hi all again

I just finished verifying execution plan changes in 9i after migrating from 8i.

I have collected statistics for around 40 Queries (quite complex since this is Siebel, 30 table joins is not suprirsing) which changed execution plan due to prefetch mechanism. To my suprise the statistics is so similar that I am really in doubts if prefetch is doing effect at all.

I see queries with virtually same number of fetch cpu time, fetch query reads, fetch current reads in 8i and 9i.

Am I missing something?
