Sometimes we use bind variables, but we see that our statements are not shared, why?
The most common causes are:
Bind Type mismatch
VARIABLE v1 VARCHAR2(60);
VARIABLE v1 VARCHAR2(30);
VARIABLE v1 VARCHAR2(30);
Language
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = 'AMERICAN';
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = �GERMAN';
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = �GERMAN';
SQL Trace
EXECUTE DBMS_MONITOR.SESSION_TRACE_ENABLE;
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
Environmental variables that affect the optimizer
ALTER SESSION SET optimizer_mode = CHOOSE;
ALTER SESSION SET optimizer_mode = FIRST ROWS;
ALTER SESSION SET optimizer_mode = FIRST ROWS;
This script check the statements with the top number of versions and check on v$sql_shared_cursor to find the mismatch.
It works on 8i and 9i. v$sql_shared_cursor structure has changed on 10g so needs to be adapted for it.
