Re: query hanged in parsing

When you say "hanging" to you mean it's blocked and waiting, or is it burning CPU?

Although you've used the "Outline Information into SQL Plan Profile" trick, SQL Plan Profiles (and SQL Plan Baselines) don't always manage to reproduce the plan (especially in the earlier releases). Do you have adaptive plans enabled, and have you tried running the 10053 trace? It's possible given the symptoms you've described that Oracle is spending a huge amount of time calculating inflections points for adaptive joins.

Here's an example I wrote about a couple of years ago: Adaptive Joins | Oracle Scratchpad (wordpress.com)
