RE: Getting multiple explain plans for 1 sql statement

One common occurrance which would cause that would be two different
users executing the identical SQL, but resolving to two different
objects.
 
For example:
select '1' into :x from my_tab where rownum=1;
 
if USER1 and USER2 each have their own table called my_tab.
 
There are lots of other reasons.  As Brandon (I think it was Brandon)
mentioned previously, check V$SQL_SHARED_CURSOR, and check the
documentation for the meaning of some of the columns in
V$SQL_SHARED_CURSOR.
 
Hope that helps,
 
-Mark

why would I spawn child cursors with different execution plans for the
exact same query with bind variables with the same plan_hash_value?

        I forgot to mention - there could also be different explain
plans for different child cursors of the same hash_value - check the
"child_number" column, and then check v$sql_shared_cursor to get an idea
of why there are multiple children.

                It's normal to have multiple rows in v$sql_plan for a
given hash_value - each row represents a single step of the explain
plan.  Do both rows have the same plan_hash_value?
