I've seen those before, tried to understand why but no clue. Any clue?

The real fun begins when rows in there have multiple entries for the same address, but all the columns are "N".
 
Oh, wait, that's the fun I'm having right now...
 
Good timing on the thread!

What does v$SQL_SHARED_CURSOR show? Also remember that outlines will follow cursor sharing rules; if you expect SIMILAR cursors to be shared, the outline must be created with cursor_sharing = SIMILAR. If the queries are exactly the same and still not being shared, hopefully the view will help identify the reason.

I have a stored outline that has been indicated as being used ( in v$sql, column outline_category = PROD).  However, in V$SQL_PLAN it shows a different plan than in the stored outline and also when I do explain of the SQL.

We have the "alter system set use_stored_outlines = PROD" in our database startup trigger.  We've also verified that other outlines are being used.

Why was this one not using the stored ouline?

I've noticed that in V$SQLAREA, this particular SQL has 5 invalidations and 6 loads.  Even with the multiple invalidations and loads, Oracle should have used the outline.

Any idea?

Thanks.
