I think it is the hash value for sql text .... something like
hash(sql_text_here) ... probably used to do a fast match with trying to lookup
outlines ...

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up stored outlines and am running into the following
problem (OUTLN tables are initially empty and the shared pool has just been
flushed):
ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES = TRUE;
SELECT 'THISISMYTEST' FROM DUAL;
ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES = FALSE;
SQL> SELECT HASH_VALUE,SQL_TEXT FROM OUTLN.OL$;
HASH_VALUE SQL_TEXT
---------- ------------------------------------------------------------
1024768383 SELECT 'THISISMYTEST' FROM DUAL
SQL> SELECT HASH_VALUE,SQL_TEXT FROM V$SQL WHERE SQL_TEXT LIKE
'%THISISMYTEST%';
HASH_VALUE SQL_TEXT
---------- ------------------------------------------------------------
2081312514 SELECT 'THISISMYTEST' FROM DUAL
2452395670 SELECT HASH_VALUE,SQL_TEXT FROM V$SQL WHERE SQL_TEXT LIKE '%
THISISMYTEST%'
Now (as expected) there is now one row in OUTLN.OL$ but the HASH_VALUE !=
the HASH_VALUE for the given SELECT statement in v$sql. In fact the
HASH_VALUE doesn't match anything in v$sql.
Obviously (and demonstratively) the outline will not be used if the query
hashes to a different value that the outline. Am I missing
something? (CREATE ANY OUTLINE is granted)
Thanks for any help,
- Bill.
