we're using it, on 8.1.6  No problems so far, and it relieved the problem of 
not being able to get a chunk of memory for the shared pool and having to 
flush. My programmers wrote their code using constants... on insert 
statements in a registration system. So my sqlarea was getting filled with 
identical statements, except for the value of the constant.

Rather than make them recode (trust me, I would have had to get the rack and 
thumbscrews out to make that happen), I turned on cursor_sharing=force and 
it's worked like a dream.
