Hi all,

I'm trying to set up stored outlines and am running into the following problem (OUTLN tables are initially empty and the shared pool has just been flushed):

ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES = TRUE; SELECT 'THISISMYTEST' FROM DUAL; ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES = FALSE; SQL> SELECT HASH_VALUE,SQL_TEXT FROM OUTLN.OL$; HASH_VALUE SQL_TEXT

---------- ------------------------------------------------------------

1024768383 SELECT 'THISISMYTEST' FROM DUAL SQL> SELECT HASH_VALUE,SQL_TEXT FROM V$SQL WHERE SQL_TEXT LIKE '%THISISMYTEST%'; HASH_VALUE SQL_TEXT

---------- ------------------------------------------------------------

2081312514 SELECT 'THISISMYTEST' FROM DUAL 2452395670 SELECT HASH_VALUE,SQL_TEXT FROM V$SQL WHERE SQL_TEXT LIKE '% THISISMYTEST%' Now (as expected) there is now one row in OUTLN.OL$ but the HASH_VALUE != the HASH_VALUE for the given SELECT statement in v$sql. In fact the HASH_VALUE doesn't match anything in v$sql.

Obviously (and demonstratively) the outline will not be used if the query hashes to a different value that the outline. Am I missing something? (CREATE ANY OUTLINE is granted)

Thanks for any help,
- Bill.
