RE: Bind variable peeking and Dynamic sampling

Brandon,

I agree that having a hint to selectively hard parse (or, really, just selectively recompute execution plan) would be quite useful. But I suspect Oracle is hesitant to provide it, for fear that it becomes a "magic bullet", and people begin overusing it, causing an overall degradation in performance. It would be great, but would need to be very selectively applied.

-Mark

PS Hmm....now, where do I go to file an enhancement request?

Not that Wolfgang's suggestion isn't a good one, but just FYI - in my case, I got rid of histograms and am still having the problems of inappropriate plan sharing due to bind variable peeking.

I've filed enhancement request 6030306 to add a hint or some other method of forcing Oracle to always hard-parse and bind-peek for certain queries. If any of you agree this would be a good enhancement, please submit an enhancement request of your own and reference the above ER number and if enough of us ask for it, hopefully they'll add it soon.

Thanks,
Brandon

Wolfgang's suggestion to remove any histograms might be the best bet.
