Hi List I do have a performance problem... The following stats are summed up over 10 days. #Parse = #Executions !! (not good) SQL text Execs Rows proc Parse calls % impact ---------------------------------------- -------- --------- ----------- -------- Query 1 854391 854391 854391 12.14 Query 2 1303493 1303491 1303493 18.52 Query 3 3926789 3926775 3926789 55.79 Query 1: SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL Query 2: update seq$ set increment$=:2,minvalue=:... Query 3: select text from view$ where rowid=:1 Any suggestions how to get the number of parses down ? Can objects owned by SYS be pinned or is that the wrong idea ?
