Re: RE: CURSOR_SHARING = FORCE ques. - OCP Certification
Title: CURSOR_SHARING = FORCE ques. 9i has come up with cursor_sharing = similar, which was missing till 8i. We had FORCE and EXACT.

I know that there are a lot of differing opinions regarding OCP and what it may or may not tell you about a particular individual, but, if your company is willing to pay for you to pursue this then it is always (IMO) a good idea! After all, it hopefully will provide you with some incentive to pick up some manuals and perhaps mess with a test database and learn some new stuff. Just how could this be a bad thing? Ken. PS.

So now I'm studying the upgrade book and it's sparked up a couple of questions regarding cursor_sharing = force. 1) I've heard a bunch of negative things (like bugs) regarding using this feature, was this just with 8.1.6 or is it still buggy? 2) Anyone out there using it? Does it give that much better performance gains? It seems to me like it's not worth implementing. 3)Can the guys playing with 9i out there verify if this is buggy in 9i? Thanks to all.
