Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Stored Outline not being used -- Interesting issue
I've created a stored outline for this query below. Due to the use of the bind variables and especially because of the "scheduled_start_date <= (:3 + 1)", neither explain nor "create outline" command works.
For cases like these, I have successfully resorted to using PL/SQL and the command "alter session set create_stored_outlines = OLCAT" to create the outlines.
However, in this particular case, this does not work. The actual SQL statement was stored in the OL$ in upper case (this is normal), howver, the bind variables are created as :B1, :B2, :B3 and :B4 as opposed to :1, :2, :3, :4 as shown below. I think there may be issue matching what is actually in the SQLAREA.
Questions:
1. What can I do to make this outline work?
2. What are the columns hash_value, signature, and hash_value2? The hash_value apparently does not match the hash_value of the actual SQL in memory.
This particular area is very difficult to troubeshoot since there are not a lot of information out there, therefore, any help to resovle this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
