Re: histograms, buckets, and bind variables

I could swear that you are experiencing the great Oracle feature called "bind peeking" at work ...

> I could have swarn I read that if you use bind variables oracle ignores
histograms. We are
noticing different query plans based on the number of buckets our histograms have while
our queries are using bind variables.
> One of the guys did a 10053 trace and added up the cost oracle is calculating
and it is
changing based on number of buckets even when bind variables are used.
