stored_outline issues

[Fedock, John (KAM.RHQ)]

I have been trying to get stored outlines to work. It seems simple enough, but it is working the exact opposite as I think it should.   Anyone else use these? I am on 8.1.7.4 on HP-UX 11.00

 

In a nutshell, I verify my query is using the correct explain plan.  I grant 'create any outline' to the users.

 

Then, I do:

 

alter system set use_stored_outlines = true

 

ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES=true;
select * from edi_monitor_vw;
ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES=false;

 

I can see the outline in DBA_OUTLINES and also in outln.ol$

 

If I open another session and run the query, it is NOT using the correct explain plan.

 

If I 'alter system set use_stored_outlines = false;'   then the query uses the correct plan.

 

I also noticed that outline_category in v$sql is NULL.   Does this mean that they outline is not being used? I assume not.  

 

Thanks all,

 

John
