We turned the Cursor Sharing (SIMILIAR) on a couple of months ago and it made a big improvement in in the Oracle server Remedy uses the IDs. You could always drop the old field and use the archgid utility to change the ID and rename the field. Fred

I just imported all the diary fields (long) into another diary field (log) if I just delete the old diary, and rename the new db name to the old one.. Will this work.. I cannot remember if all workflow is tied to the Fieldid or fieldname. thanks. On 6/7/07, Axton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ** I've implemented this using the cursor_sharing parameter (SIMILAR). Similar is recommended over force if you search the KB, although the articles are against really old versions. It makes a huge difference in Oracle in relation to (1) hard parses and (2) shared pool size. This does two things on the Oracle side, reduces cpu overhead, reduces memory requirements. It would really be better if Remedy were altered to use bind variables natively, but this will never happen.
