Jay - Here are the possibilities: 1. The vendor is stupid. Or doesn't understand Oracle. 2. The product was incorrectly installed. Some products are sophisticated enough to have a configurable interface, which may be misconfigured or need tuning over time. 3. You are missing a key piece of knowledge. My point is, learn what you can about alternatives 2 and 3. Read the vendor documentation on the Oracle interface. Place a support call with the vendor. Try to locate a knowledgeable resource at the vendor. Find a support list. But if that fails, then you may be forced to fall back on an Oracle-only solution. CURSOR_SHARING is a high-risk solution that I would try after exhausting the simpler solutions.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 2:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello: I have a third party application which seems to have alot of unbound SQL statements, several of which do not seem to be very effective queries. Unfortunatelly the code is locked. My Parse to execute ratio is around 72% and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can decrease this? I figure that I might start with using the parameter CURSOR_SHARING. Any ideas would be great.
