        Thanks Tanel, that's a great idea and seems like it would work
very well for testing, but in some cases I actually need to do this in
production (I forgot to mention that in my original post) in order to
reset a poorly performing execution plan so the bind variables will be
peeked again and Oracle will come up with a more appropriate plan.  This
is where I really need to prevent the mass invalidation of all cursors
dependent on a given object and I can't use the view method here with
the COTS app.  I wish Oracle would just add a simple procedure like
dbms_shared_pool.invalidate('<hash_value>').  It seems like it would be
simple and useful enough.  I can't be the only one encountering this
problem.  Maybe I'll open an enhancement request and see how that goes -
never tried one before.
         
        Looking forward to your published paper, although it sounds like
it might not be safe for a production environment ;-)  I
