Hello,
No, not our case. But I see that support found the first DocId because they asked us to purge the recyclebin. This did not change anything. The SQL appearing in both DocIds is not the same. The re-gathering of stats for fixed and dictionary objects did not change anything either. Only setting the optimizer features back to 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2 did the trick. Later we found that a "minimal" change => _push_join_union_view=false does also help the optimizer to generate the good plan.

regards.
