Thanks for your information, Nuno. We upgraded Peoplesoft databases from 9.2.0 to Oracle 10.2.0.2 about a year ago. During the testing phase, I found that I had to set the following hidden parameter to make the application running smoothly. After the 10.2.0.3 patchset was applied to those databases in , I had not rechecked if any of the following parameters need to be adjusted. *._complex_view_merging=false *._gby_hash_aggregation_enabled=FALSE *._optimizer_cost_based_transformation='off' *._unnest_subquery=false Limin Guo.
