      Parse/Execution Ratio  
     Number of parses divided by the number executions per statement.  
     Individual number of parses. 

      Number of executions.  
     The count of parses to executions should be as close to one as possible. If there are a high number of parses per execution then the statement has been needlessly reparsed. This could indicate the lack of use of bind variables in SQL statements or poor cursor reuse. 
     

Hi list ,
In oracle doc it says parse to execute ratio is to be close to one . I dont understand that . I thought there should be more executes per parse . So it should be close to 0. am I wrong ?
Thanks ,
bp
