RE: When optimizer reevaluate SQL statement

!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !!

If the Oracle executing user is different, the execution plan will be different due to possibility of different objects and security.

Different sessions under the same user can share using bind variables.

I'm puzzled. I always thought that different users submitting the identical SQL statement would use the same plan and not need to be reparsed. I understood that to be part of the reasoning behind bind variables and the big advantage of cursor sharing. Please explain.
