Hi All,
I was looking at the performance tuning manual, in particular, the Shared Pool tuning section. The definition of a PIN is:
PINS: PIN requests for objects of this namespace
What does this really mean? Above definition mentioned "PIN requests". What are PIN requests?
Greatly appreciate an answer that is more understandable than the above definition.
Thanks .... IA

Hi,
GETS & PINS are two types of locks which oracle acquire at the time of parse & execute respectively. PINS basically related to execution, everytime a statement get executed the PINS lock is acquired by the oracle on that statement. In short PINS means total number of executions of statements.
