Hi Job and Charles, I have not used this in Production yet, but I do see another use for SPM. My problem is this: AWR is stored (by default) for 7 days - and we loose older SQL ID/Plan Hash information (unless you custom extract it). I would like to turn on OPTIMIZER_CAPTURE_SQL_PLAN_BASELINES in the Dev/Test/Stage environments, capture Plans and use SPM to store this longer term without the overhead of either creating my own custom copy of AWR or (worse!) retaining AWR for substantially longer periods. Auto evolve plan baselines?? (Hmmmm - I don't think I am that mad yet!) Seriously, you are going to allow the optimizer to pick the lower cost plan when you *know* that the lower cost plan (as calculated) is sometimes not the "right thing" to do? Having said that, if I am using Stored Outlines, then I would have to migrate to SPM to remain supported. Plan stability? What is that??! (Just kidding).
