Re: Sql Profile 12c

Hello Sanjay,
the problem is not the SQL Profile (they can be very useful) but the Oracle Tuning Advisor. It seems like you just accepted the recommendation by Oracle Tuning Advisor without understanding the root cause.

The SQL Profile by Oracle Tuning Advisor does not fix an execution plan - so it is not very uncommon to have different costs in different environments if they are not EXACTLY the same. The SQL Profile by Oracle Tuning Advisor only provides some scale factors (in your case for joins) but the optimizer is still free to choose from various transformations, access paths and join methods.

So my recommendation: Delete the SQL profile, understand the root cause and fix this problem :-)

The environment is 12c (12.1.0.2) and SQL profile is enabled. The only difference is that Lower environment COSt in explanation where the query is running 5 times faster is more that based Execution plan COST in a production environment.
