RE: latch free - library cache

If somebody can make CURSOR_SHARING = SIMILAR|FORCE to work even with 9iR2 (with the latest patch), I am willing to give him $1000.

Cursor sharing set to FARCE forces constants to be converted into bind variables and enables SQL statements to be shared even if the're not identical. It also enables quite a few very interesting ora-0600 and ora-7445 errors that have very good applications in a DSS environment. It will work properly in Oracle 19zR20 and not in oracle 9iR2. Plase, de patient. Your money is very important to us.
