Take a look at the optimizer_adaptive_features and optimizer_dynamic_sampling parameters to limit this type of behaviour in 12.1.0.2. It may be an option to consider if your SQL workload is fairly consistent and non-repetitive - ie more “OLTP” in nature.

We have one customer running with the following values in production for their “OLTP” databases and the behaviour has been good to date:

optimizer_adpative_features=FALSE
optimizer_dynamic_sampling=0

If possible you could implement these settings via ‘alter session’ trigger so you don’t need to set them instance wide.

Regards,

Mark

It turned out the cause was 12c adaptive plans, which spent some time to collect statistics and trying different routes. In addition to the cost of statistics collection and trying different plans, the final plans on some queries were not good, too. The option "ADAPTIVE" with dbms_xplan.display_cursor will show the additional steps used by adaptive plans.
