ISSUE - Getting HIGH Latch Free Wait on the following Latches after moving from RBO to CBO. ( ALL Objects been analyzed at 100 %). CPU Usage on DB Server has gone up by about 30 %. NOTE - Application has also been migrated to a Higher release along with the CBO movement. Qs Any init.ora parameters to Tune ? Would increasing _shared_pool_reserved_min_alloc to 6140 from the Default of 4400 Help? Setting cursorsharing = FORCE/SIMILAR caused "%sys" component of CPU Usage to shoot to 99 % within minutes of Database startup. Seemed to be hitting some Bug in 9.2.0.5 (64 Bit) on Solaris 9. Has anybody experienced this & is it solved in a 9i Higher Patch ? Which Patch on 9i is advisable? Qs Will Tuning of individual SQLs reduce this wait ? Any Other Advice please?
