Re: Bad performance because of wrong characterset?

[Carel-Jan]

No characterset changed yet. They want us to recreate the database. the 
system is going live in a few weeks. I simply hate changing things because 
someone says so. It might be the quickest solution, but most probably not, 
and then it's a waste of time, energy etc.

Here's a wild guess. If the character set is changed, a 10 MB segment 
(from the
first extent to high water mark) may become 20 MB or 5 MB. Then CBO 
changes the
plan and it happens to be a bad one.
