Jerry,
There are several 8i bugs regarding cursors not being
shared when timed_statistics is enabled. The
workaround for several, but not all of them, is to set
the hidden parameter _sqlexec_progression_cost=0 in
the init.ora
Setting this parameter does have a cost, but I believe
the benefits of enabling timed_statistics are greater.
Setting this parameter causes the limited number of
operations that would normally populate the
V$SESSION_LONGOPS view from doing so. See note
68438.1 "Oracle8i: User-definable V$SESSION_LONGOPS
Entries" for more details on this view.
HTH,
