   I doubt that the role makes the difference you are seeing. Dumb idea -
depending on how you ran your test, maybe the first query brought the blocks
into the buffer cache. 
   Rule of thumb: When explain plan doesn't answer your question, trace the
execution.

Subject: Overhead using a role


Is there much overhead involved in using roles?

I have a query that runs about 4 minutes using the schema
owner account. The same query runs about 50% longer using a
userid that is attached to a role that has read any table
rights. 

I did an Explain Plan on both, but they are exactly the
same. We are running under RBO. The database is 8.1.7.3
running on Sun Solaris.

Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.

Larry
