I think if the sql is part of pl/sql (other then dynamic) then better to pin 
the pl/sql itself. 
  If you still need to pin sql then it can be made part of startup. Of course 
you will need to run it and bring it to v$sql and then get address, hash_value. 
Like pinning of pl/sql objects.  If you pin lots of sql later after startup and 
keep doing it then it might not be so beneficial. Thanks

  You can explicitly pin a sql cursor only if it is in the library cache. You 
need to get hash_value and sql_address of that cursor to be able to pin it.

exec dbms_shared_pool.keep('sql_address, hash_value', 'C');

That will pin heap 0 and heap 6 of that cursor until you unpin it. Make sure to 
set session_cached_curosrs parameter also to further reduce impact of parsing.

As demonstrated below, you can run interested sql's queries from the pl/sql 
block and they will have the same hash values when your execute them from your 
app, only caveat would be Pl/sql makes them uppercase, unless you use execute 
immediate, and your bind variables may take a different name and hence 
different hash value.
