All I can think of is to pin these functions in the SHARED POOL using 
DBMS_SHARED_POOL.KEEP procedure !!

functions?


Oracle : 8.0.5
Platform : Sun

Is there any way to "optimize" the following two functions to improve speed?

I am calling this type of functions a lot.

Thanks.

----------------------------------------
function fTest1 (v_id in number) return boolean is
  v_date  date;
BEGIN
  select max(my_date_field) into v_date from my_table where id= v_id;
  if v_date  > sysdate - 30 then return true; else return false; end if;
EXCEPTION
  when others then return false;
END fTest1;
---------------------------------------

function fTest2 (v_id in number) return varchar2 is
   text  varchar2(32000);
  cursor cur1 is
   select my_text_field from my_table where id= v_id;

BEGIN

  for x in cur1 loop
     text := text || chr(10) || x.my_text_field ;
  end loop;

  return text;

END fTest2;
