Why would anybody want to do this in a large OLTP application built in powerbuilder?

Setting this global parameter at connect time disables the use of bind variables, which causes all the usual problems associated with heavy use of literal SQL.

Any Powerbuilder folks out there that might have some insight into why a developer would want to use this, globally?

I can understand the need in certain DSS systems and possibly other queries where we want to inform the optimizer as best we can ( specific value and value ranges instead of "blind" variables ), but system wide, I think not.
