Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Stored outline not being used all the times...
I have a stored outline that has been indicated as being used ( in v$sql, column outline_category = PROD). However, in V$SQL_PLAN it shows a different plan than in the stored outline and also when I do explain of the SQL.
We have the "alter system set use_stored_outlines = PROD" in our database startup trigger. We've also verified that other outlines are being used.
Why was this one not using the stored ouline?
I've noticed that in V$SQLAREA, this particular SQL has 5 invalidations and 6 loads. Even with the multiple invalidations and loads, Oracle should have used the outline.
Any idea?
Thanks.
