Re: shared pool waits

Not getting it fully though. If we purge a sql from cursor cache, doesn't it mean there will be hard parsing and that will cause more contention and take more CPU to parse subsequently? Though I am also trying to understand Lok's point, as we should have noticed the in_hard_parse flag as 'Y' in case this issue would have been caused by hard parse.

But again , when I see the P1 and P1text while the ASH shows the event as 'library cache:mutex x' or 'cursor mutex s', they are pointing to the same sql_text only. Does that mean even doing soft parsing only but because of the so many number of executions/soft parses we are suffering? But then I am wondering why do we see these issues mainly while stats gathering is running from another session on the same underlying object? How can this be related?

The query looks like below.

SELECT MAX (ID1) FROM TAB1 WHERE C1= :B1 AND C2 = :B2

| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost
(%CPU)| Time | Pstart| Pstop |

| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | | | 4
(100)| | | |

| 1 | PARTITION RANGE SINGLE | | 1 | 52
| | | KEY | KEY |

| 2 | SORT AGGREGATE | | 1 | 52
| | | | |

| 3 | FIRST ROW | | 1 | 52
| 4 (0)| 00:00:01 | | |

| 4 | INDEX RANGE SCAN (MIN/MAX)| IDX1 | 1 | 52 | 4 (0)|
00:00:01 | KEY | KEY |
