Hi,

Oracle 10.2.0.4

What is the relation between partitioned bitmap indexes and number of recursive calls shown by Autotrace? I have seen that as the number of partitions on a table increase, for a query using bitmap indexes, the number of recursive calls also increase. When the number of partitions on the table are reduced, the same query shows lower recursive calls.

I have discounted query parsing by running the queries 3 times before observing the recursive calls.
