You are able to run your SQL without schema-statistics, even if 
OPTIMIZER_MODE=CHOOSE ?

RE: RE: CBO, RBO and will v5 ever really go away?

2003-10-20 Thread Bellow, Bambi
Unfortunately, our applications fall into the second category.  And due to
the complexity of the queries being run, attempting to turn on CBO also
activates a bug for which Oracle has a fix in v10.1 but will not do a
backport, and so, until we are ready to go to 10.1, we are stuck with RBO,
and because we develop a commercial product in use by the general public,
often in realtime situations (while people are driving their vehicles), our
need for QA is extraordinarily high, and a change in underlying platform
would trigger many many manmonths of labor.  In short, if we were to
schedule an upgrade for business purposes on our time schedule, it would be
one thing, but we do not want to be forced into an upgrade by external
circumstance (read: Oracle bug).  So, RBO is for us at this juncture.

generally speaking there are two groups of people using the RBO.

1. The DBAs who have been around for 15 years and doesnt read release notes
and doesnt feel the need to read release notes or documentation because he
knows everything. He may have tried the CBO in 1995 and had 1-2 bad
experiences.

2. People who have to because they are using off the shelf cross platform
applications. They are required to use the RBO or their support contract for
these products will be invalidated. They are generally using the RBO for a
combination of 3 reasons.

1. They dont know what they are doing.
2. They have a 'layered complex view' model. that goes multi-levels deep,
and has complex functions. They do this to make it easier to port to
multiple types of databases and keep prices down. CBO doesnt work well in
this condition.
3. They tuned for the RBO 10 years ago and do not want to spend the time or
money tuning for the CBO because Oracle is just one of many databases that
they port to. They are trying to keep costs down for small shops and have to
really watch expenses. Most people who buy these applications dont have
large budgets.

Bambi, Oracle 5.1.22 was an exceptionally stable version of oracle,
with very few parameters (names were "TABLES","INDEXES" and alike)
and, as such will forever be committed to our memory.
Furthermore, RBO is used in the data dictionary, just like the
datatype
LONG which has also, allegedly, been desupported but someone forgot  
to
tell that to developers. There are things from V5.1.22 that I'm
missing
even today. There used to be something called "rpf/rpt" which was a
very good thing for writing quick command line reports without huge
and
buggy gooey interface. I started learning the only other language  
that
has formats and page handling and is not COBOL when rpt/rpf was taken
away in 7.1 (your guess is correct, it's perl). In short, Oracle 5
will
never go away. I here that in version 11, SQL*Plus will be renamed to
UFI (= User Friendly Interface) and there will be tools for  
generating
simple forms called IAP, IAG and IAD...
