Hello Vladimir


    Recursive depth is 2 in slower plan and 1 in faster plan, obviously
stemming from the fact that slower SQL was executed from a PL/SQL block.
optimizer_mode is ALL_ROWS for calls executed from PL/SQL.


    But, plans are exactly the same, optimizer_mode is ALL_ROWS in both
plans and even logical reads are closer. This is suspicious. How did you get
this plan information? If this is from tkprof, did you use explain
parameter? explain will do another explain plan during tkprof and can show
inconsistencies due to changed optimizer environment.


    If you still have trace files, can you send them to me, please?



    Also, you might want to send optimizer_mode and print those plan lines
here.


alter session set optimizer_mode='ALL_ROWS';

explain plan for

UPDATE....

;

select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,'','all'))



alter session set optimizer_mode='FIRST_ROWS';

UPDATE....

;

select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,'','all'))
