Adaptive Cursor Sharing


This feature was introduced in 11g release 1 to cater a performance issue caused by bind variable peeking. Adaptive cursor sharing means that if an SQL is submitted for execution that has bind variables, and it already has an execution plan in shared pool, still optimizer can generate a new execution plan based on the values passed in the bind variable this time. This means that on every call of an SQL, optimizer may use already available plans in the shared pool, or it may generate a new one that is more efficient based on the bind variable values.
