Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Bind variable peeking and Dynamic sampling
Fairlie
I see a few potential problems with using dynamic sampling in your scenario:
a) unless you can use hints in the sql you'll need to delete the
statistics on the table for dynamic sampling to kick in
b) do you really want to do sampling on 400 txn/sec?
c) the statement may not get reparsed as long as the plan is in SGA
and valid (never used DS in a scenario like that so don't know for
sure) which would alleviate the concern under b), but wouldn't change
the situation vs. peeking
d) AFAIK, dynamic sampling in 10gR1 isn't quite up to snuff for index
and column sampling. It uses the same defaults the CBO has been using
for tables without statistics since its inception which means you get
the same column selectivity regardless of the predicate value. Only
10.2(.0.3) finally fixes that.
You'll need at least ds=2, which is already the default. If I'd go with something like that I'd probably use ds=4
As always, there is no substitute for testing.
