Since then, our enterprise app vendor suggested setting _OPTIM_PEEK_USER_BINDS=FALSE as a magic bullet to solve a problem that has nothing to do with Oracle, but it made no apparent different in my test system (though I can envision some situations where it may benefit, and perhaps more where it is not what we want). The problem program needed an index in the part of the program where it does talk to Oracle, a different problem that was magnified, perhaps because optimizer_index_caching was no longer set, perhaps because the hardware is different (but the storage is the same), perhaps there are some different issues when full scanning a table in the SGA in 10g, perhaps because the data added since conversion is not physically distributing the same way, still don't know exactly why (and tracing wasn't entirely helpful), etc...

DO NOT use the same settings in the init.ora, in case it isn't clear.
