Mike, This means that the same query was executed at least twice with a slightly different executing environment which caused the optimizer to choose a different execution path. See ML Note 1013747.102.

Anybody run into a situation where you see optimizer_mode equal multiple_children_present when the optimizer_mode is set to choose in the init*.ora file ? If so, did you follow up on it and try and determine why this was the case and your results ? There is very little information on Metalink regarding this issue. Thank you for your time in advance.
