Re: Wrong Results - Bad Execution Plan

We have also experienced a wrong results issue, too. The work around is to disable a 10g optimzer feature. I have heard of people running 10g who set optimizer_features_enable to a 9i setting in order to prevent performance issues. The idea is that if the app works well under 9i why change the optimizer. (If it ain't broke...) It seems like this might be a preventative action to take for wrong results issues, too. I'd be interested in knowing whether anyone has set the ofe to a lower version? What were the reasons and results?

Thanks.
