Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Stored Outlines and Optimizer Mode
Thank you Dennis, John, and Jared -
Our database configuration setting is OPTIMIZER_MODE=RULE in Oracle 8.1.7.4 with no database statistics. We came up with the optimal plans for the exceptional SQLs by running the 3rd-party application under CBO in one of our test environment which mirror Production. We can't use hints as we have no control over the generated SQLs. We can't move the application completely to CBO therefore thought using stored outlines in a Oracle8i RULE-based optimizer environment may be a solution. Our intention is stay with the OPTIMIZER_MODE=RULE without any database statistics and with the addition of the handful of stored outlines. It seems stored outlines under Oracle8i+ doesn't require 1) OPTIMIZER_MODE to be CHOOSE or COST and 2) the collection of database statistics.
Just wanted to get some insights from gurus on this great list before we conduct additional validation testing.

Oh, but you *will* get CBO if you use hints.
I mention this because it was referred to earlier in this thread.
Oracle uses default values when statistics are lacking.
This is 9.2.0.4 on RH 7.1

How are you ensuring RULE is used today? Not analyzing tables? That is an issue because CBO needs you to analyze, which will cause everything to be CBO. If the SQL has a hint, then analyze won't be a problem, but you won't get CBO anyway.

Thank you Niall and Lex for your responses.
We have a 3rd-party Oracle8i system running under the RULE-based optimizer. We have identified a handful of poor performing SQLs. We can't change the generated SQLs therefore we are looking into using stored outlines to store the access plans for those exceptional SQLs. Our thought is CBO would kick in for the SQLs with the stored outlines and RBO would kick in for the other acceptable SQLs. Does this sound like it will work?
