Many thanks for answer Jared. The problem is that Siebel suggestions are sometimes pretty irrational ***and*** their suggstions are not giving the expected (performance) results. If some parameter changes proposed from Siebel don't work, they (SBL) say "Ask your DBA for assistance". Anyway, the solution of the problem was to set "optimizer_features_enable=8.1.7". After setting this parameter we got "parse time cpu=0.01 sec". The funny thing is that SBL is stating that SBL (version 7.7) ist "CBO ready", but they are forcing the CBO in any possible way to behaive just like RBO. Once again thank you for your time and help.

As these are underscore parameters, Oracle doesn't directly support them, Siebel *should* be able to offer some guidance. -- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
