RE: v$sql vs v$sqlarea difference ??

I believe it's partially possible - some of the cursor may be in the shared pool, while other parts may be aged out, for example it could appear in v$sql, but not in v$sqlplan - maybe that's what the OP was getting at. This document explains what I'm talking about in terms of heap 0 vs. heap 6 starting on page 8:

That's not possible. Where did you read that?
