Alfonso, When the same text (ie the same hash value) appears different times but with different execution plans (either because the same table names correspond to different tables - same name, different schema, or private synonyms aliasing different objects - or because session-level parameters such as sort_area_size or optimizer_goal are different and lead to a different execution plan) there is one 'parent' cursor with 0 executions and several child cursors with different child-num but same sql_address/hash_value. You can't get rid of parents .... Just ignore whatever seems not to be executed. HTH Stephane Faroult Alfonso León wrote: >Hello: > >I have some questions: > >1.
