RE: When optimizer reevaluate SQL statement

If it is the same table through a synonym, Oracle is smart enough to avoid a hard parse and will simply do a soft parse. But if the objects are different, as shown below (as per my original comment) then a hard parse will happen. Do not criticize someone until you walked a mile in their shoes,

In response to: I'm afraid I can't agree with the statement that two different users submitting the same SQL cause a hard parse. I tried the following tests to confirm my comments. Following through some simple SQL, the results are obvious. Connected to Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release

Yes, but I think Chris' point was if each statement was accessing the *same* table (say, through a public synonym) then running it under a different user wouldn't cause a hard parse. Maybe I'll have time to check this myself tomorrow, right now I have to leave. Jay Miller -Original

Its not really the same SQL though. Although the statement itself is the same its a different table. That is part of the consideration when oracle sends things for parsing or not. -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 1:51 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L In

Considering a SQL statement that is the same, but different users. The objects are different, thus a different execution plan is needed. I know it is in the manuals somewhere that if a statement has another parsing user, it is considered a different statement and not sharable. Either way,

I'm afraid I can't agree with the statement that two different users submitting the same SQL cause a hard parse. It is my understanding of the process that part of the parsing occurs when another user is submitting an identical SQL statement, but this does not constitute a hard parse, just a
