Hi all,

I thought that when a user executes 5 times exactly the same sql-statement with exactly the same values for the where condition, that oracle would only parse the statement once and use the parsed information for the other 4 executions. (like it's the case with bindvariables).

Anyone could tell me what oracle prevents from just parsing the statement once instead of 5 times ? (knowing that the sql is in still in the shared pool)

I would also very much appreciate if you could tell me some good links on the topic.

Thanx a lot !

select to_char(sysdate, 'd') from dual;
gives the day of the week. 1=sunday, 7=saturday.

You could use this in conjunction with regular date arithmetic (date1-date2) to figure how many Sat., Sun. there are and subtract them?
