It's important to have a sense of proportion about the problem. The
worst thing that a collision can do is lead the DBA on a bit of a wild
goose chase. Importantly, collisions across databases and users are
impossible. I've always taken the view that aggregating query
statistics is a lossy process, and these kinds of problems seem like a
more than acceptable price to pay for low-overhead dynamic query
statistics .
