Hi Rachel,
We've got 8.1.7 on VALinux here and cursor_sharing causes ORA-600's so I
opened a TAR 1 1/2 month ago. OWS sent us a patch but the analyst said there
were "mixed results" with it... nothing like instilling confidence. The
patch merely produced different args for the ORA-600 so I contested it with
OWS. The TAR was in "internal review" for 2 weeks. Now they are still
claiming the patch does the trick and are requiring me to provide them with
a test case-- even though they admitted upfront that there were mixed
results. So today I need to spend some time to build the test case... real
productive work. ;-)
Don't have any such problems on Solaris so I've got the sense that fixes are
about a year behind on Linux. Why do I feel like I'm trying to support a
mission critical app on the bleeding edge? Other than dogged persistence,
any clues on how to prove bugs to OWS?

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.
